DPSY 940 Doctoral Seminar in Psychology requires doctoral candidates to research and write a supervised research dissertation of 12,000 words on an approved topic in psychology. The Dissertation will be completed and evaluated according to procedures approved by the Dean of Charisma University’s School of Psychology and Behavioral Science. Once enrolled in DPSY 940 Doctoral Seminar in Psychology, candidates will have ongoing meetings with their designated supervisor or professor based on a schedule to be determined between the individual student and supervisor. Students communicate with their supervisor through the designated portal at Charisma University. Although students receive close guidance, monitoring, feedback, and supervision, this course contains no regular classes. There are no scheduled learning activities, and the student and supervisor or professor will initially agree on a provisional timetable for submitting drafts. Since this course is equivalent to 4 units, students are expected to spend up to 10 hours a week during term time to prepare for their Dissertation adequately.
