Research Tools
The doctoral degree is granted in recognition of a marked capacity for research as well as independent and comprehensive scholarship. Therefore, in addition to the other requirements for the degree, doctoral students are required to demonstrate competence in scholarly inquiry and in the use of research tools related to their research interests and the field of dance. Students must demonstrate competency in their research tools prior to taking the Qualifying Examinations. These research tools comprise coursework equivalent to a least 12 credit hours and include the following: 1) Movement observation and analysis applied to research contexts, 2) Research conceptualization and design, and 3) Data gathering, analysis, and interpretation related to specific instances of researching dance praxis. Competency is demonstrated by successful completion of the following courses.
| DNCE 6113 Seminar: Movement Analysis, Description and Theory Generation |
| DNCE 6113 Seminar: Scholarly Inquiry |
| DNCE 6113 Seminar: Qualitative Research Methodologies |
| DNCE 6023 Analysis of Professional Literature I: Data Analysis & Theory Development |
Individual Study Options
The individual study options (DNCE 6911 or DNCE 6913) are available for those interested in pursuing a problem of individual or professional interest that does not fall within the context of organized courses. In addition, the individual study option is the appropriate course for developing and pursuing a comprehensive reading program in preparation for the Qualifying Examinations and/or to support the research agenda. In consultation with the doctoral advisor, students may also initiate individual study problems/projects with members of the University graduate faculty.
A syllabus for the individual study, developed by the student and approved by the faculty member facilitating the independent study, is due no later than the end of the 2nd week of class in the fall/spring semesters and by the end of the first week of classes in the summer session.
