CUIN Home > Instructional Technology > Doctorate > Residency Residency Requirements: Doctorate of Education The doctoral level residency should provide opportunities that augment academic preparation in scholarship, teaching, and service. It is structured as a full-time experience. This enables graduate student interaction with faculty, colleagues, and other professionals across assorted experiences and settings and separate from the regular curriculum. Thus, the doctoral residency should amplify existing student preparation and provide for more rounded development and student enrichment. The College faculty has taken the position that intangible benefits accrue from residency when students are free from outside commitments to spend time in informal interactions with faculty and other students. If employment is necessary, students are encouraged, whenever possible, to seek work arrangements that complement their programs of study. Residency experiences should be from a variety of settings during the time of residency. The student is encouraged to be involved in activities on the University of Houston campus, i.e. attendance and presentations at professional conferences, theses and dissertation defenses, invited speakers. However, in many cases other institutions and settings may be more appropriate for residency activities, i.e. attendance and presentations at professional conferences. Consult your advisor for approval before residency experiences. Requirements Doctoral students in the College of Education can complete their residency requirements in:
To meet residency requirements, the student must complete full-time study in one of the above options. Nine (9) hours of credit per semester is defined as a minimum load for full-time graduate study. Students are required to complete a residency seminar during at least one semester of residency. Students may repeat the residency seminar with approval of their advisor. Students must complete an Application for Full-time Doctoral Residency and secure approval from their advisor, their department chair, and the Associate Dean for Graduate Studies. Residency credit is contingent upon approval of logs submitted at the end of each semester or term of residency. Suggested residency guidelines for instructional technology doctoral students: Residency activities are designed to enhance students' academic lives during the two semester residency process. Activities should include several different types of experiences both on and off campus. Instructional technology students usually have a rich variety of activities because of Houston's large technology focus and urban setting. Students are encouraged to participate in activities both at the local, regional, and state levels, and nationally and internationally whenever possible. Activities should be selected based on their value to the individual student and should be spread out over each residency semester. The logical progression of activities over the entire residency period is worthwhile, not simply the number. Students should not wait until the end of the semester to begin residency activities. The value of residency activities should not be taken lightly and should be designed to enhance or supplement needed skills and knowledge. There is no set number of residency activities, but a student should try to attend at least one activity each week, although more is preferred. Students may also use some kinds of activities more than once a semester, keeping in mind that diversity is preferred. Students should attend an instructional technology conference if possible, but several presentations in the same day should not be counted as multiple activities. A list of related IT conferences is below. There are several different categories of activities listed below. IT students should attend or participate in activities in at least four different categories.
Other activities should be discussed with an advisor, and could include teaching a class, developing educational materials, and submitting a paper to a journal.
