Doctoral Cognate in Health Administration
Doctoral candidates outside of the Department of Health Administration
who wish a cognate area in Health Administration must satisfactorily complete
twelve (12) semester hours in relevant course work at the 700 or 800 level
(or equivalent) as described below and earn a "pass" or better in both
the written and oral components of the comprehensive examination pertaining
to Health Administration. All course work must be satisfactorily completed
before the student is eligible to take the comprehensive examination. A
Health Administration faculty member must supervise the cognate, and must
be a member of the student's comprehensive examination committee, with
responsibility for the cognate component of the comprehensive examination.
Up to six of the twelve required semester hours may be in previous graduate
courses. The student must meet the Graduate School's time criterion: "All
work applied toward the Ph.D., exclusive of the master's degree portion,
should be completed within eight years prior to graduation." Students seeking
cognate credit for a course must submit the course syllabus for approval
to the Health Administration doctoral faculty.
The cognate requires at least six hours of 700 and 800 level courses
in Health Administration. The courses must include HADM 845 and HADM 846.
