If the student starts the program with an adviser, then the student must consult with their adviser to select two other faculty members to serve on their Supervisory Committee. If the student does not have a research adviser at the start, then a three-faculty committee will be assigned to the student, with the expectation that the committee may be modified once a student joins a research group. After the Candidacy Exam (see below), an outside UCF member shall be added to the Supervisory Committee, which then becomes the Dissertation Advisory Committee. The adviser is expected to meet at regular intervals with the student to discuss the proposed dissertation research and the plans for carrying out research. The full committee shall meet with the student at least once per year to review and make recommendations regarding the student's academic and research progress, including elective course selections, as well as their career development through presentations and attendance of international conferences. Additional meetings may be called by the student, adviser, the committee as a whole, or the Planetary Sciences Graduate Committee. The Supervisory Committee conducts the Candidacy Examination, and the Dissertation Advisory Committee conducts the Dissertation Defense. UCF Graduate Faculty and Graduate Faculty Scholars in the program are eligible to serve on these committees; the adviser must have UCF Graduate Faculty status. Formation of and changes to the membership of a Supervisory or Dissertation Advisory Committee must be in line with Graduate Catalog requirements. The Dissertation Advisory Committee must be approved before the student may register for Dissertation credits.</li></ul><h3>Candidacy Examination</h3> 0 Total Credits <ul><li>The program requires a Candidacy Examination to be taken after the completion of the core courses. This examination has written and oral components. The written component is a journal- level research paper that should be submitted and approved by the Supervisory Committee prior to the exam. The oral component has two parts: (1) A public presentation of the research contained in the paper, including the traditional question-and-answer period of a scientific presentation, and (2) questioning (that is typically conducted privately in committee) on the detail of the presented research as well as the topics covered in the student’s preparation and course work.</li></ul><h3>Dissertation Proposal</h3> 0 Total Credits <ul><li>Dissertation work must follow a Dissertation Proposal approved by the Dissertation Advisory Committee. The Proposal may be presented simultaneously with or immediately after the Candidacy Examination (if the external member is present and the Committee is approved) or in a separate meeting not more than one semester thereafter. Substantial work may not be done on the dissertation before approval by the Dissertation Advisory Committee. The Committee must also assess whether additional coursework is necessary to begin the dissertation. Such coursework should be completed at the earliest opportunity and before substantial work is done on the dissertation, or as directed by the Committee. The Dissertation Proposal presentation is not formally an examination, although the presentation format chosen by the Committee may be similar. Given the nature of research, changes of direction and scope are expected in many projects. Such changes should be discussed with the Committee, and substantial changes must be approved.</li></ul><h3>Admission to Candidacy</h3> 0 Total Credits <ul><li>The following are required to be admitted to candidacy and to enroll in dissertation hours: • Completion of the majority of course work (aside from Dissertation hours). Students must have completed all core courses and can have no more than 6 credit hours of remaining coursework. • Successful completion of the Candidacy Examination. • Formation of the Dissertation Advisory Committee. • Submission of an approved Program of Study. </li></ul><h3>Master's Awarded</h3> 0 Total Credits <ul><li>Students in this Ph.D. Program may be awarded a Master of Science degree after admission to candidacy (described above).</li></ul><h3>Dissertation Defense</h3> 0 Total Credits <ul><li>The dissertation defense is the final requirement for the PhD.

"description": "<p>The Planetary and Space Sciences PhD program is designed to prepare students to become leaders in the global planetary research and exploration community. Planetary science studies planetary systems, their components, their origins, their workings, and how they generate and affect life. Space exploration involves observing, visiting, and utilizing locations and resources above our atmosphere. Both depend critically on each other. The commercialization of space and rising public interest create high demand for PhD holders conversant in both areas, both in publicly funded research and in the private sector.</p> <p>The Planetary and Space Sciences PhD program requires a minimum of 72 credit hours beyond a bachelor’s degree. This includes completion of 6 required courses (18 credit hours), 5 elective courses (15 credit hours) of regular course work selected in consultation with the student’s supervisory committee, a minimum of 15 dissertation credit hours, and the remaining 24 credit hours of appropriately selected research, dissertation, and elective courses. At least one-half of the credit hours used to meet program requirements must be in 6000-level or 7000-level courses, including the allowed number of research and dissertation hours. No more than 12 hours of independent study may be credited toward the PhD degree. The PhD includes a Candidacy Examination to be taken after the completion of the core courses, a written dissertation, and a dissertation defense before the student’s Dissertation Advisory Committee. Planetary and Space Sciences PhD candidates may be awarded MS degrees in this program upon submitting being admitted to Candidacy.</p> <br /> <p><strong>Total Credit Hours Required:</strong></p> <p>72 Credit Hours Minimum beyond a Bachelor's Degree; 42 Credit Hours Minimum beyond a Master's Degree</p>",

If the student does not have a research adviser at the start, then a three-faculty committee will be assigned to the student, with the expectation that the committee may be modified once a student joins a research group. After the Candidacy Exam (see below), an outside UCF member shall be added to the Supervisory Committee, which then becomes the Dissertation Advisory Committee.\n\nThe adviser is expected to meet at regular intervals with the student to discuss the proposed dissertation research and the plans for carrying out research. The full committee shall meet with the student at least once per year to review and make recommendations regarding the student's academic and research progress, including elective course selections, as well as their career development through presentations and attendance of international conferences. Additional meetings may be called by the student, adviser, the committee as a whole, or the Planetary Sciences Graduate Committee. The Supervisory Committee conducts the Candidacy Examination, and the Dissertation Advisory Committee conducts the Dissertation Defense.\n\nUCF Graduate Faculty and Graduate Faculty Scholars in the program are eligible to serve on these committees; the adviser must have UCF Graduate Faculty status. Formation of and changes to the membership of a Supervisory or Dissertation Advisory Committee must be in line with Graduate Catalog requirements.

The internship program takes 2 semesters to complete: one orientation semester and one internship semester. In order to participate in the HIIM Internship the student must have completed or earned credit for HIM 3806- Professional Practice Experience I, HIM 4816- Professional Practice Experience II and HIM 4998- Internship Orientation. Additionally, many health care organizations will require that students complete a background check, which may include, but not be limited to, law enforcement finger printing, state driving records, credit reports, and criminal records check. The cost of the background check is the student's responsibility. Background checks may take time to complete and, subsequently, could delay the student's internship placement. Students who have potential background issues must contact the Director of Internships to schedule an interview in order to discuss the impact on field placement. The Health Informatics and Information Management program cannot guarantee internship placement or subsequent degree completion for students who do not pass background checks. A fee may be required as part of the placement application process for the internship program. Students will receive all the information they need, as well as access to internships they may apply for during HIM 4998 –Internship Orientation.</p><p><b>Electives</b></p><p>Upon completion of general education, common program pre-req’s, required core, BS required courses (or BA required foreign language), students may still need electives to reach the minimum overall credit hour requirement to be eligible for graduation. Students needing additional electives are encouraged to enroll in general electives as needed. Courses or additional minor/certificate should be selected with the assistance of an advisor. </p><p><strong>Required Minors</strong></p><p>None</p><p><strong>Departmental Exit Requirements</strong></p><p><br/>A minimum 2.5 overall GPA is required for graduation.

Requirements</strong></p> <p><br />As a requirement for the Bachelor of Science in Health Informatics and Information Management major, students must complete an internship within the HIM realm of an actual health care organization. The internship program takes 2 semesters to complete: one orientation semester and one internship semester. In order to participate in the HIIM Internship the student must have completed or earned credit for HIM 3806- Professional Practice Experience I, HIM 4816- Professional Practice Experience II and HIM 4998- Internship Orientation. Additionally, many health care organizations will require that students complete a background check, which may include, but not be limited to, law enforcement finger printing, state driving records, credit reports, and criminal records check. The cost of the background check is the student's responsibility. Background checks may take time to complete and, subsequently, could delay the student's internship placement. Students who have potential background issues must contact the Director of Internships to schedule an interview in order to discuss the impact on field placement. The Health Informatics and Information Management program cannot guarantee internship placement or subsequent degree completion for students who do not pass background checks. A fee may be required as part of the placement application process for the internship program. Students will receive all the information they need, as well as access to internships they may apply for during HIM 4998 –Internship Orientation.</p> <br /> <p><b>Electives</b></p> <br /> <p>Upon completion of general education, common program pre-req’s, required core, BS required courses (or BA required foreign language), students may still need electives to reach the minimum overall credit hour requirement to be eligible for graduation. Students needing additional electives are encouraged to enroll in general electives as needed. Courses or additional minor/certificate should be selected with the assistance of an advisor. </p> <br /> <br /> <p><strong>Required Minors</strong></p> <br /> <p>None</p> <br /> <br /> <p><strong>Departmental Exit Requirements</strong></p> <p><br />A minimum 2.5 overall GPA is required for graduation.
