Within the Department of
Program Policy Statement
A.
The mission of the proposed PhD
program is to provide advanced training to students in the field of Applied Physiology with the goal of
preparing students for research-based careers.
Areas of in-depth study are driven by faculty research and encompass
cardiovascular physiology, exercise physiology, musculoskeletal physiology, and
neurophysiology. The programmatic
emphasis is on the regulation, adaptation, and integration of mechanisms across
all levels of biological organization from molecules to organ systems. New
knowledge on health, aging, chronic disease, and injury prevention will be
generated and disseminated. Along with
in-depth, laboratory-based immersion, the mission of the proposed program is to
provide high quality classroom-based instruction through a core graduate
curriculum, electives, and seminars.
B. Origin of the Program
During spring 2009 the Exercise
Science program within the Department of Health, Nutrition & Exercise
Sciences underwent an Academic Program Review. One of the specific
recommendations of the external review team was the establishment of a doctoral
program within the Department of Health, Nutrition and Exercise Sciences in the
area of physiology. The reviewers noted that the department’s physiology
faculty, while extremely productive, are hampered by the absence of a doctoral
program for training students. Although these faculty belong to the
Biomechanics and Movement Science program, it has proved difficult to attract doctoral
students who wish to specialize in physiology to a program named Biomechanics
and Movement Science. The reviewers specifically recommended that the new
doctoral program be housed within the department and not be configured
as an interdisciplinary program shared by multiple departments in order to keep
it sufficiently focused. It is also requisite for the department to have a
Ph.D. program in order to be nationally ranked by the
C. Description of the Planning Process
The
exercise science faculty met to discuss the Academic Program Review Report and
during that meeting voted unanimously to move forward with the development of a
proposal for a new Ph.D. program. Faculty agreed that the title “Applied
Physiology” best captured the areas of research encompassed by those who wished
to be involved. Professors Edwards, Farquhar, and Hall volunteered to take the
lead in drafting the written proposal for the degree program. Professor and
Department Chair Duncan from Biology was also consulted, as the department
wanted to include among the degree requirements selected courses from Biology,
but also to make it clear that the new degree program would not significantly
overlap with any existing program in Biology. We also solicited and welcomed
Professor Duncan’s input on all aspects of the proposal.
Draft
copies of the proposal were circulated to all exercise science faculty and
D. Current Status and Funding
We are currently seeking
approval for this program and plan to launch it in fall 2010. The faculty
within the Department of Health, Nutrition and Exercise Sciences who will be
affiliated with this program have all been supervising graduate students within
the interdisciplinary Biomechanics and Movement Science (BMSC) program. We
currently (F09) have faculty supervising 17 BMSC students, as well as 1 Ph.D.
student in Biology and with another student accepted into the Ph.D. program in
Biology to start in S10. These students have all been funded through research assistantships
on externally funded grants, (primarily from NIH,) department teaching assistantships,
or university fellowships. Funding for students in the Applied Physiology
program will continue to come from these same sources. The Department of Health, Nutrition and Exercise Sciences currently has
in place the faculty, the laboratories, the courses, and the funding needed in
order for the proposed Ph.D. in Applied Physiology to be successful.
E. Degrees Offered
The degree awarded to those who
complete this program will be a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Applied
Physiology.

D.
Admission Application Processing
The admission process is completed as follows:
First, completed applications consisting of the application form,
undergraduate/graduate transcripts, official GRE scores, letters of
recommendations, resume, statement of purpose, and written statement of goals
and objectives are reviewed by the Program Committee of the Applied Physiology
Program. Pending a successful review of the initial application materials, the
application is circulated to the entire Applied Physiology faculty in an effort
to match the student with an advisor. Faculty members advise students whose
background, goals and objectives are compatible with their own research and
funding. The Program Committee arrives at an admission decision after reviewing
the completed application. To be admitted, a student must have an advisor.
Applications are processed as they are
submitted.
E.
Admission Status
Students admitted to the Applied
Physiology Program may be admitted into one of two categories:
1. Regular status is offered to students who
meet all of the established entrance requirements, who have a record of high
scholarship in their fields of specialization, and who have the ability,
interest, and maturity necessary for successful study at the graduate level in
a degree program.
2. Provisional status is offered to students
who are seeking admission to the degree program but lack one or more of the
specified prerequisites. All provisional requirements must be met within the
deadline given before regular status can be granted. Students admitted with
provisional status are generally not eligible for assistantships or
fellowships. Students who file an application during the final year of
undergraduate or current graduate work and are unable to supply complete
official transcripts showing the conferral of the degree will be admitted
pending conferral of the degree if their records are otherwise satisfactory and
complete.
Part
III. Degree Requirements for the Doctor of
Philosophy in Applied Physiology
The degree requirements are the same, whether a student is entering the
program with a bachelor’s degree or a master’s degree.
A.
Course
Requirements
The Doctor of Philosophy in Applied
Physiology requires a minimum of 46 credits including 9 credits of
dissertation. The program is designed to
be completed in 4 years. The 46 required credits are specified in the student’s
plan of study and normally include:
Required courses (28 credits):
·
BISC605 Advanced Mammalian Physiology (3)
·
HESC654 Survey of Medical Physiology (3)
·
BISC631 Practice of Science (3)
·
Research (HESC868/964) (12)
·
Biostatistics (HESC602 or BISC643) (3)
·
Seminar (HESC603) (4)
(Seminar
taken 8 semesters, 4 semesters for credit and
4
semesters as listener.)
Elective Courses (9 credits): Suggested
courses are listed in Appendix A.
Students who have had
substantially similar courses to one or more of those required prior to
entering the Applied Physiology Program may substitute other appropriate
courses with the approval of the advisor and the Program Committee.
Only those courses in the 600,
800, 900 levels will apply towards the doctoral degree. Independent study courses will be accepted
based on approval of the advisor and the Department Chair. A maximum of 9
independent study credits may be included in the program of study.
B. Planned Program of Study and
Revisions
Students are required to develop
a plan for a program of study with their advisor during the first semester of
study. Depending on the student’s
background and interests, the program of study may include courses beyond the
minimum number required for the degree. The planned program of study must first
be approved by the advisor and then the Program Committee by the end of the
first semester. A typical plan for the
program of study (showing only the
minimum requirements for the degree) is shown below.

Students may need to alter
their approved program of study due to scheduling conflicts, creation of new
courses, or change of research focus.
Students who wish to make changes to their program of study should first
obtain permission from their advisor.
The revised program of study must be approved by the Program Committee.
Students must have a minimum
overall cumulative grade point average of 3.0 to be eligible for the degree. Grades in all courses required for the degree
must be a minimum of B—. All graduate
numbered courses taken with graduate student classification at the
C. Residency Requirement
At least 4 academic years of graduate
work are required for the PhD degree. At least one continuous academic year
must be devoted exclusively to full-time study (9 credit hours per semester) in
applied physiology in residence at the
D. Preliminary Examination Requirement
Students must pass a
preliminary examination that tests their general knowledge base in applied
physiology and their ability to critically evaluate scientific literature. The
preliminary examination includes a written component followed by an oral
component on a separate day. Content of the exam is
usually based on: 1) course work taken during the student’s first year of the academic
program and 2) an area of study that is consistent with the student’s planned
dissertation work. The
preliminary examination must be completed by the end of the student's first
year of enrollment. The results of this examination will be one of the
following:
1.
Pass. The student may proceed to the next stage of
his/her degree training.
2.
Conditional pass. In the event that the examination
committee feels the student's performance was generally acceptable but with a
specific deficiency, condition(s) will be specified that the student must
satisfy to achieve a Pass and remain in the Program. These conditions may
include a re-examination on one or more question areas.
3.
Re-examination. This result is appropriate for a
student whose performance was unsatisfactory, but displayed evidence of the
potential to complete graduate degree training. Re-examination must be
completed within one semester. The possible outcomes of the re-examination are
pass or failure. The student may not take the exam a third time.
4.
Failure. This outcome would indicate that
examination committee considers the student incapable of completing degree
training and the student would be recommended for dismissal from the program.
The advisor and Preliminary Examination
Committee will determine on a case by case basis the composition of re-examinations.
E. Dissertation Proposal Defense and
Dissertation Defense Requirements
Students in the Applied
Physiology Program normally should complete an oral dissertation proposal
defense by the end of their sixth semester of enrollment. Prior to the
presentation, proposals normally should have received approval from the
university Human Subjects Review Board (HSRB) and/or the Institutional Animal
Care and Use Committee (IACUC). Similarly, following completion of the
dissertation, an oral defense of the dissertation is required.
Procedures for the dissertation
proposal defense and the dissertation defense are the same. The written
dissertation proposal and the written dissertation will be made available to
all members of the Applied Physiology faculty at least two weeks prior to the
oral defense dates. The oral defense meetings will
include both a defense of the student's proposed or completed dissertation
research and an in-depth examination of the student's knowledge of their
research specialization. Students are expected to demonstrate competency in
both oral and written communication skills. All members of the Applied
Physiology faculty will be invited to attend the oral defense meetings.
Following the oral
presentation and questions from faculty in attendance the Dissertation
Committee will meet separately and vote on the outcome. The possible outcomes of the oral defense are
pass, conditional pass, or failure. The outcome will be presented to the
student, along with any conditions or requirements for proposal or dissertation
revisions. For conditional pass, requirements must be addressed within six
months of the original exam date.
Once the proposal
defense has been successfully completed, the student must apply to the graduate
school for admission into candidacy. Please see the Recommendation for
Candidacy for Doctoral Degree form (PDF) for details.
F. Faculty Advisors and Committees for
Preliminary Exams and Dissertation.
1. Faculty Advisors. During
the application process, each student must identify a faculty advisor from
among the faculty holding appointments in the program. The faculty member must
be willing to serve as advisor and to accept responsibility for oversight of
the student’s academic progress in the program.
If, during the
course of a student's academic program, the advisor is unable or unwilling to
continue as advisor, it is the student's responsibility to identify a faculty
member willing to be the new advisor. The new advisor must be identified within
6 months in order for the student to be considered making satisfactory progress
toward the degree.
Students may also
elect to switch to a different advisor at any time with the approval of the
Program Committee and with the consent of the new faculty advisor. Switching
advisors does not change the deadlines for completing the requirements for a
degree.
2. Preliminary
Exam Committee. The Program Committee will identify,
each year, at least three faculty members who, in consultation with each
student’s advisor, will have responsibility for writing and assessing the
written and oral components of the preliminary exams for those students ready
to take this exam. All members of the Applied Physiology faculty are encouraged
to participate in the oral portion of the exam. However, responsibility for determining
the final outcome of the exam (pass, re-examination, failure) will lie with the
named members of the Preliminary Exam Committee. In the event of a re-examination,
the same committee members will have responsibility for composing the exam and
assessing the outcome.
3. Dissertation
Committee. The student and his/her advisor will
identify members of a Dissertation Committee within one semester of successful
completion of the preliminary examination. Ph.D. dissertation committees must
consist of a minimum of four members and a maximum of seven members, including
the advisor. At least three of the members should be University faculty with
appointments within the Applied Physiology Program. At least one member is to
be selected from outside of the Applied Physiology Program and/or from outside
of the University. These outside committee members should be chosen based on
their expertise in the area of study related to the dissertation, and in
consultation with the advisor and other committee members. Outside committee
members will normally hold a doctoral degree. An outside committee member not
holding a doctoral degree must be approved by the Program Committee. It is the
responsibility of the advisor to replace members who withdraw from the committee
during the dissertation process.
Students must
convene their dissertation committees at least once every six months. Upon
completion of the meeting, the student's advisor must complete a meeting report
and submit it to the graduate coordinator. The deadlines for submission of
these meeting reports are October 1 and March 1 of each year. Students who do
not have committee meetings in a timely manner will be considered as failing to
progress and will be required to meet with the Program Committee to determine
whether a recommendation for dismissal from the program is warranted.
5. Laboratory
Safety and Research Regulations and Standards of Student Conduct. Graduate students performing laboratory research are subject to
all University regulations regarding safety, human subjects, animal use, and
hazardous and radioactive material use and disposal. These guidelines may be
found in the
All training
and regulatory authorizations must be updated at the time of proposal
submission.
F. Requirements for Satisfactory
Progress towards the Degree
1. Time
Limit for Completing the Degree. The time limit for completion
of degree requirements begins with the date of matriculation and is
specifically detailed in the student’s letter of admission. Students entering a
doctoral program with a master’s degree are given 10 consecutive semesters to
complete the requirements. Students who
change their degree plan and have transferred from one degree program to
another degree program are given 10 consecutive semesters from the beginning of
the first year in the latest program. Students
entering a doctoral program with a bachelor’s degree are given 14 consecutive
semesters to complete the degree requirements.
An extension of time limit may
be granted for circumstances beyond the student’s control. Requests for time extensions must be made in
writing and approved by the student’s dissertation committee and the director
of the Applied Physiology Program. The
director will forward the request to the Office of Graduate studies.
2. Submission of Required University
Forms. When a
student has met the requirements for admission to candidacy as previously explained,
the department should submit a Recommendation for Candidacy for Doctoral Degree
form to the Office of Graduate Studies. The student’s classification will change
to postcandidacy upon admission to candidacy status. The deadline for admission
to candidacy for the fall semester is August 31. The deadline for admission to
candidacy for the spring semester is January 31. The deadline for admission to
candidacy for the summer is April 30. Responsibility for seeing that admission
to candidacy is secured at the proper time rests with the student.
To
initiate the process for degree conferral, candidates must submit an
“Application for Advanced Degree” to the Office of Graduate Studies. The
application deadlines are February 15 for Spring candidates, January 15 for
Winter candidates, May 15 for Summer candidates, and September 15 for Fall
candidates. The application must be signed by the candidate’s adviser and department
chair. There is an application fee of
$50 for master’s degree candidates and a $95 fee for doctoral degree
candidates. Payment is required when the application is submitted. Upon
completion of the audit, the Office of Graduate Studies notifies students in
writing when they have met all degree requirements.
3. Grade
Requirements for Satisfactory Progress. Failure to satisfactorily progress
in the program will be based on the University Graduate Policy as noted below:
The Office of Graduate Studies
monitors the academic progress of all graduate students and notifies students
in writing of all academic deficiencies. The cumulative GPA after each 9-hour increment determines
academic standing.
The University’s Academic Probation Policy
is expressed in the following chart:

4. Reasons
for Dismissal from the Program. The
Office of Graduate Studies notifies students when they are dismissed from
graduate programs without completing a degree. Dismissals usually take place at
the end of a term. Students may be dismissed for the following reasons:
In the case of
dismissal, the graduate coordinator is required to send a report to the Office
of Graduate Studies that states the faculty vote on the decision causing
dismissal and the justification for this action. The Office of Graduate Studies
will notify a student in writing when the student is being dismissed for
failure to make satisfactory progress in the program.
5. Procedures
for Student Appeals.
Students who receive what they perceive as an unfair evaluation by a faculty
member or faculty committee may file grievances in
accordance with
In the case of academic
dismissal, the student may appeal the termination by writing to the Office of
Graduate Studies. This appeal must be made within ten class days from the date
on which the student has been notified of academic dismissal. If the Vice
Provost for Academic Affairs grants reinstatement, the student must meet the
conditions of the reinstatement. Failure to meet these conditions will result
in dismissal from the program. A graduate student may be reinstated only once
to a given major. The student’s academic transcript will reflect the
reinstatement with academic probation status.
Students
wishing to review their program file must submit a written request to the graduate
coordinator at least 24 hours in advance. Students must review the file in the
presence of program staff or faculty and are not permitted to remove a file but
may photocopy documents from their folder. All access to student records is in
accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act.
Part
IV. Financial Aid and Assistantships
A. Financial
Awards
1. Types of Awards,
policy for granting financial awards, summer appointments, and number of years
of support
Funding for PhD students within
the Applied Physiology program will primarily come from faculty advisor grant
support and department teaching assistantships.
Research Assistant awards will be made on a competitive basis for
students that best fit the needs of the sponsoring faculty member. Teaching Assistant awards will be made on a
competitive basis for students prepared to teach and otherwise assist with
undergraduate instruction.
Students can also apply for
internal funding. For example, students
can apply for any of the competitive awards offered through the UD Research and
Graduate Studies Office. This includes
the University Graduate Fellow Award, the University Graduate Scholar Award,
and the University Dissertation Award.
Students can also apply for
pre-doctoral support from funding agencies such as the American Heart
Association. All students will be
encouraged to apply for these external awards.
The sponsoring faculty member will work with the student to develop the
proposal.
Summer appointments will be
made on an individual basis. If funds
are available, it is expected that students will work full-time in the
sponsoring faculty’s laboratory during the summer months (with a reasonable
amount of time for vacation).
Support for a student enrolled
in the Ph.D. program will not normally be provided for more than 5 years.
2. Responsibilities
and Evaluation of Students on Assistantships
Students are expected to
maintain full-time status during their graduate studies. While time devoted to classes vs. laboratory
work will vary each semester, students are expected to devote 20 hours per week
to laboratory work early in the program (when course work is high), progressing
to full-time in the lab upon completion of course work.
Specific teaching related
responsibilities for TAs will be assigned by the Department Chair. The
Department Chair will review student evaluations of teaching and possibly use
other means of evaluating teaching effectiveness. Maintaining a TA position is
contingent on satisfactory teaching performance, as well as the student making
satisfactory performance toward the degree.
Specific responsibilities for
RAs will be assigned by the faculty member supplying the funding for the RA
position. Continuation or termination of the RA position will be at the discretion
of that faculty member.
