INDIVIDUAL STUDY PLAN

PhD Program

Rutgers Business School-Newark and New Brunswick

Please keep in mind that you will undoubtedly need to change your plan frequently, as your interests change, as program plans for offering courses change, and as the faculty changes. It is important that you plan out your entire schedule at the outset, however, so that the Program knows what courses students expect to take and students know what they need to do to complete the program within the expected time frame. As your plans change, please be sure to update the Individual Study Plan to reflect the changes, so that you and we know what you need to do to complete your degree.

After you have completed this document, it will become part of your file in the Program Office and will be used to chart your progress. You will be required to submit official updates on December 1 in the fall and on May 1 in the spring in order to register for the following semester. Your updated plans must be signed by your adviser and the doctoral coordinator for your major, and then will be reviewed and approved by the Program Director. If there are questions or issues regarding your plan, you will be contacted to make corrections or amendments before it will be approved. Please be sure that when you turn in your revised plan that you update all relevant information on the courses for your major, your minor, and your foundation/methodology requirements, that you include all necessary forms (e.g., for independent study or for dissertation progress), and that you obtain the necessary signatures (or approval by email when faculty are away). All necessary forms can be downloaded from the website.
