Overview of the Doctoral Program

Basic Philosophy

The basic philosophy behind the GRIPS doctoral program is to nurture the following types of human resources:

1. Highly qualified researchers in the field of policy studies

2. Public administrators with professional expertise and skills in policy analysis based on an academic framework

Educational Goals

The GRIPS doctoral program will, over its standard training period of three years, offer students educational instruction with the view to nurturing in them the following abilities:

1. Advanced policy study capabilities based on academic methods that measure up to international standards

2. Instruction in the various fields of discipline essential for pursuing a career in policy studies

3. The ability to write academic theses.

A thesis submitted for evaluation under the GRIPS doctoral program must meet the following three conditions in order to be awarded a Ph.D./doctoral degree.

1. It must have policy-relevancy or policy implication

2. It must take into account previous trends and studies (both Japanese and international) in the relevant academic field, as well as present something original of its own

3. It must either be built on an outstanding analysis of a specific policy, or a retrospective historical research/case-study taken up from a fresh perspective, which shows great analytical acumen

The thesis must fulfill at least one of the following requirements in order to be considered as having achieved the above:

1. A part of the results of the study must have been published or accepted for publication in an academic journal based on a system of peer review

2. The results of the study must have either already been or be scheduled for commercial publication (includes subsidy publishing)

3. The results of the study must be recognized to be of a standard comparable to 1. or 2. above

Established Programs

There are nine programs under the GRIPS doctoral program: GRIPS Global Governance Program (G-cube), Policy Analysis, Public Policy, Security and International Studies, State Building and Economic Development, Science, Technology and Innovation Policy, Disaster Management, Japanese Language and Culture, and Policy Professionals. For details, please refer to Table 1.

Requirements for Doctoral Students

Course Guidance

The degree requirements are different for different programs, but there are requirements common to all the programs as follows: Students are required to take courses following the guidance of the individual student’s Advisory Committee, pass the Qualifying Examination (hereafter QE), prepare a doctoral dissertation following the guidance of the Advisory Committee, present the progress of the research at a Ph.D./Doctoral Candidate Seminar, submit the dissertation to the degree committee, and present it at the Final Thesis Presentation successfully. Students should consult Tables 2, 3, and 4 for additional specific requirements and regulations related to required courses and QE.

Research Guidance System

Research guidance under the GRIPS doctoral program will be provided by an Advisory Committee made up of several advisors, and based on each student’s research topic competence in the area, and research capabilities. The Advisory Committee will comprise the main advisor, and up to three sub advisors. It will guide a student on what courses to take, based on the student’s research plan and state of mastery of the various required subjects, etc. The selection of courses shall be based on several disciplines: the main field and subfields as well as fields that are required to be mastered by a student for pursuing his/her policy research.

Completion Requirements

In order to complete the GRIPS doctoral program, a candidate must have passed the QE, made a presentation of the results of their research at the Ph.D./Doctoral Candidate Seminar and passed the Ph.D./Doctoral Thesis Defense. Here are brief descriptions of the QE, Ph.D/Doctoral Candidate Seminar, and Ph.D./Doctoral Thesis Defense:

1. In order to write a doctoral thesis, it is, as a rule, necessary for students to pass the QE, which is generally conducted around the end of the first

academic year. To be allowed to take the QE, students are required to receive 8 credits or more (30 credits or more for students in the GRIPS Global Governance Program (G-Cube), 14 credits or more for students in the Security and International Studies Program, 11 credits or more for students in the Science, Technology and Innovation Policy Program, 12 credits or more for students in the State Building and Economic Development Program, and 10 credits or more for students in the Policy Professional Program. For students in the Policy Analysis Program, see separate document). Note that each program has some course requirements after the QE (see the curriculum table).

2. QEs comprise both written and oral examinations (for the Policy Analysis Program, a Field QE is conducted as well as a Basic QE). The written examinations will be conducted for one subject given by the main advisor, and other two or three subjects (one for the Policy Professionals Program) given by the other sub advisors and teachers in the format (in class, take home, open book, and closed book) chosen by the main advisor. A student must attain a score of at least 60% in every one of the subjects in order to pass. The oral examination will involve answering questions based on the student’s research plan or his/her answers to questions in the written examination. Whether a student passes or fails will be determined by a joint discussion among all the members of the Advisory Committee. Students who are unable to pass in either the written or oral examination the first time are allowed one more chance to take the QE. Students who pass both the written and oral examinations are considered to have passed the QE.

3. All Ph.D./doctoral candidates who have passed the QE are required, before submitting their doctoral theses, to organize a Ph.D./Doctoral Candidate Seminar in which to present the progress of their research. This seminar provides Ph.D./doctoral candidates with an opportunity to present their research plans or ongoing research and to exchange ideas with the GRIPS faculty and

4. All Ph.D./doctoral candidates are required to present the results of their study at the Ph.D./Doctoral Thesis Defense, and demonstrate its validity, relevance, and academic contribution. The Presentation usually consists of a 40-60 minute presentation followed by a 20-30 minute Q&A session. The Ph.D./Doctoral thesis must be submitted at least three weeks before the Final Thesis Presentation. One set of the hard copy of the thesis manuscript must be submitted to IPT and either a hard of soft copy must be sent to each member of the degree committee (for the composition of the committee, see below).

5. If the degree committee determines that the thesis is worth the degree but requires revisions, the candidate must revise the manuscript following the committee’s comments and submit the final version upon the main advisor’s consent. The final version of the thesis must be submitted to IPT in both a hard copy and a soft copy (PDF). The soft copy is essential because all the Ph.D./doctoral theses are in principle required to be published online by law.

Evaluation

The degree committee of the Final Thesis Presentation must comprise four or more persons including the members of the student’s Advisory Committee, who must hold Ph.D./doctoral degrees, at least one examiner from an external institution, and a professor who has not given any of the courses taken by the student either in the main or sub fields. The members of the degree committee should give a score (out of 5) to the thesis, presentation and Q&A. Scores above 3 on average will be awarded a pass.

Doctoral Programs

Five-Year Ph.D. Course

GRIPS Global Governance Program (G-cube) This Program aims to produce leader of leaders for

government, business, and international arenas. The world is faced with new and serious problems,

such as financial crises, terrorism, energy challenges, and environmental issues. A new type of leader is needed to address these problems and forge a path to a new age. This program will equip students with: (1) a broad

historical perspective, which will help them understand the true nature of policy issues and predict their overall impact, (2) strong analytical ability needed to develop insightful and effective policies, and (3) effective communication skills to convey ideas and opinions across languages, cultures, religions, and nationalities. All courses (including lectures, seminars, tutorials)

are conducted in English. Masters and doctorate courses are integrated into one

program. Although the usual time period needed to obtain the Ph.D. degree is five years, the minimum time period required to complete all the requirements for the Ph.D. degree is three years. After completing one year of coursework, students who have earned the required number of credits, and who have passed the Qualifying Examination (QE) may continue their study to pursue their doctorate while returning to their workplaces and resuming their jobs. Students enrolling in this program will be provided

full scholarships (G-cube Fellowship). In addition, after passing the QE, Ph.D. candidates will receive an annual research fund. This program is open to those with a bachelor’s

degree from a recognized/accredited university, with the ability and will to become a leader of leaders. Preference is given to those who are interested in pursuing a career as a government official, or in international organizations.

Policy Analysis Program This is a three to five-year program designed for student research and analysis of real-world policy issues, utilizing economics methodologies. 1. The Policy Analysis Program accepts students

whose main interest is economic analysis of public policy. The program offers specialization in Public Economics, Development Economics, and International Economics.

2. Curriculum Features:

(a) Candidates in the program start from learning introductory economics and econometrics. They are not expected to start their research immediately. Instead, they are expected to develop their own interest and find their own research topics while taking various courses in the program.

(b) Economics and econometrics are required. The program requires all students to take introductory and advanced level courses in microeconomics, macroeconomics, and econometrics.

(c) Masters and doctorate courses are integrated into one program. Though five years is the usual time needed to obtain the Ph.D. degree, three years is a minimum time period needed to finish all the requirements for Ph.D. degree.

(d) For students who already have a Master’s degree in Economics, a three year version of the program is available.

3. Other Features of the program (a) All courses (including lectures, seminars,

workshops, tutorials) are taught in English. No knowledge of Japanese language is necessary.

(b) Master’s degree can be obtained in two years. (c) Normally students enter the program in

October. April entry is possible for those with a strong background in economics.

(d) Economics or a related degree or previous knowledge is useful, yet not necessary.

(e) Students must pass qualifying exams in basic economics and econometrics (Basic QE) and in their specialized field (Field QE) to be able to write Ph.D. dissertation.

(f) Many of our faculty members are experienced in many actual policy formulations in government and international arena.

4. Recommended Elective Courses are provided in a separate page of this Bulletin.

5. Before registering for any courses, GRIPS Masters students who are considering applying for the Policy Analysis Program are strongly advised to consult the eligibility requirements for the GRIPS Fellowship. These are posted on the GRIPS intranet.

(a) Candidates in the program start from learning introductory economics and econometrics. They are not expected to start their research immediately. Instead, they are expected to develop their own interest and find their own research topics while taking various courses in the program.

(b) Economics and econometrics are required. The program requires all students to take introductory and advanced level courses in microeconomics, macroeconomics, and econometrics.

(c) Masters and doctorate courses are integrated into one program. Though five years is the usual time needed to obtain the Ph.D. degree, three years is a minimum time period needed to finish all the requirements for Ph.D. degree.

(d) For students who already have a Master’s degree in Economics, a three year version of the program is available.

3. Other Features of the program (a) All courses (including lectures, seminars,

workshops, tutorials) are taught in English. No knowledge of Japanese language is necessary.

(b) Master’s degree can be obtained in two years. (c) Normally students enter the program in

October. April entry is possible for those with a strong background in economics.

(d) Economics or a related degree or previous knowledge is useful, yet not necessary.

(e) Students must pass qualifying exams in basic economics and econometrics (Basic QE) and in their specialized field (Field QE) to be able to write Ph.D. dissertation.

(f) Many of our faculty members are experienced in many actual policy formulations in government and international arena.

4. Recommended Elective Courses are provided in a separate page of this Bulletin.

Three-Year Ph.D./Doctoral Courses

Public Policy Program This program is designed for public administrators and researchers in the field of policy studies, who possess advanced expertise in policy analysis, in the fields of General, Politics, Social Systems Analysis, Development Policy, Cultural Policy, and Science and Technology Policy.

The Public Policy Program accepts students in the areas of social science except for economics. Economics students should enroll in Policy Analysis Program.

Candidates are expected to conduct high-level policy research and possess the ability to commence their own research immediately. GRIPS graduates with Master’s Degree and those from other institutions with Master’s Degree are welcome to apply to enter the program.

In addition to lectures and seminars, candidates also have opportunities to participate in more practical research activities while writing their dissertation. For example, they may get involved in on-going research projects at our Policy Research Center or participate in collaborative research with governmental research organizations that partner with GRIPS.

Security and International Studies Program This program is designed to equip students with academic and practical skills for understanding and resolving security and foreign policy issues. Students will learn to do this by conducting in-depth research on historical and contemporary security and foreign policy matters, and engaging in theoretical as well as policy debates with faculty members and outside specialists. Graduates of this program are expected to become leading security and foreign policy specialists and practitioners in governmental/nongovernmental/international organizations, research institutions, universities, and other relevant entities. Courses and seminars are conducted in English. In the first year, students are required to undertake course work and earn a minimum of 14 credits from the courses and seminars. By the end of the first year, students are expected to pass three Written Qualifying Examinations (QEs), submit a dissertation prospectus, and pass in one Oral Qualifying Examination which is doctoral dissertation prospectus defense. After completing all four Qualifying Examinations, students can start writing a dissertation to complete it by the end of the third year.

State Building and Economic Development Program This program is designed for students interested in the interactions between the politics and the economy in developing countries and emerging economies. The program aims to develop talented individuals who are capable of research and policy formulation that require advanced knowledge of both political science and economics and who will play key roles in democratic governance in the world. This program is an outgrowth of the Global COE Program entitled “The Transferability of East Asian Development Strategies and State Building”, which GRIPS has implemented from 2008 to 2012. In the Global COE program, economists and political scientists have conducted joint studies and fostered young researchers and technocrats who are able to produce scientific evidence that will inform policy making. This Ph.D. program will expand on the success of the Global COE Program in such human resource development. During the first year of this Ph.D. program, students take courses in both political science and economics intensively to acquire advanced knowledge and analytical skills at the Ph.D. level of proficiency. In and after the second year, students concentrate on field work, archival research, theoretical or empirical analyses, and writing their dissertation to earn a degree in three years. All courses in the program are offered in English. The dissertation, also to be written in English, must be relevant to state building and economic development. It must also demonstrate a capacity for making original and significant contributions to the existing knowledge base, and deal with a policy issue or have a policy implication. Students who fulfill the requirements will be conferred a Ph.D. in International Development Studies. In this program, the advisory committee for each student includes faculty members in both political science and economics in order to develop individuals with multiple points of view and analytical skills in both fields. To help students acquire a good sense of what is actually happening on the ground , each advisory committee comprises faculty members with a wealth of relevant experience in developing countries and emerging economies and encourages students research planning, data collection, analysis, and writing but also helps them succeed in publishing journal articles and books.

Disaster Management Program This program is designed to cultivate professionals who can educate researchers and take leadership in the

planning and implementation of national/international strategies and policies in the field of water-related risk management.

Water-related disasters are intensifying in frequency and magnitude due to urbanization, industrialization, climate changes etc. throughout the world, causing devastating losses to human lives and livelihoods. They also seriously impede economic development.

It is increasingly evident that capacity development and human empowerment are the basis for resilient societies against disasters and sustainable development. In order to improve this basis, there is an urgent need for societies to increase their capacities for training researchers, educators and strategy/policy specialists for risk management.

It is to support countries in this respect that the National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies (GRIPS) and the International Centre for Water Hazard and Risk Management (ICHARM), Public Works Research Institute (PWRI) jointly launch a Ph.D. program in October 2010. The broad aim of the program is to nurture professionals who can train researchers and take leadership in planning and implementation of national and international strategies and policies in the field of water-related risk management.

At the end of the first year, doctoral students are expected to submit a thesis proposal and pass a Qualifying Examination. In order to be eligible for a Qualifying Examination for Doctoral Dissertation, students must earn a minimum of 8 credits from the courses offered. In addition, students who are advised to take disaster management courses by their supervising committee must take these for up to 4 credits in Category I. After passing the Qualifying Examination, students can begin working on their dissertation in their second academic year, with the aim of completing the dissertation by the end of their third year. After starting dissertation work, students are required to report on research that they are planning or working on, at Ph.D. Candidate Seminars.

In addition to the completion of the dissertation, at least two papers should be published in peer reviewed relevant international journals before the awarding of the degree. (“Publish” here includes acceptance for publication.)

In addition, there are courses offered at the University of Tokyo.

Furthermore, PWRI is seeking candidates for ICHARM Research Assistantship positions. If employed for the positions, students will be working at ICHARM as ICHARM Research Assistants. This provides an excellent opportunity

for them to learn and experience the practical work of ICHARM while they carry out their own research. For those interested in the assistantship, visit the PWRI website for further information.

Science, Technology and Innovation Policy Program This program is designed to equip government officials and practitioners with the skills needed to design, implement and evaluate policies and strategies related to science, technology and innovation based on a scientific approach, and trains other professionals to become experts in the theory and practice of policymaking There is a growing need for science, technology and innovation (STI) to address economic and societal challenges. Many national and local governments, universities, research institutions and companies have been trying to find ways to design more effective and efficient STI policies and strategies to realize innovation and sustainable growth.

This program aims to train individuals who can apply a scientific approach, and who are then able to carry out the planning, design, implementation, evaluation and revision of STI policy and strategy. In particular, we intend to equip the administrative officials, practitioners and researchers with advanced skills for policy analysis and policy and strategy planning and implementation. They will become acquainted with the multiple disciplines, achieve research competence in various social science fields, and gain teaching ability in the higher education.

We host prominent professors who are experts on the research regarding science and technology policy from inside and outside Japan. To achieve more practical research education, the program also accommodates lecturers who are engaged on the frontline of current science and technology policies. Additionally, the program holds a range of research workshops and seminars and invites eminent researchers and practitioners, current policy administrators, politicians, and corporate representatives, among others.

The program is operated under the support of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) and is provided in cooperation with the National Institute of Science and Technology Policy (NISTEP), the Center for Research and Development Strategy at Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST-CRDS) and the Research Institute of Economy, Trade and Industry (RIETI).

Graduate Program in Japanese Language and CultureThis program is designed for Japanese-language educators with the linguistic and cultural expertise for providing high-quality Japanese-language education and research. The objective of this program is to educate foreign teachers and/or professors who possess a broad base of knowledge and insight into Japanese language education, society, and culture. It also provides scholarly training in disciplines in order to develop abilities in conducting advanced academic research. It aims to produce individuals who are qualified to take an active role in Japanese language education in their own countries either as future leaders in Japanese language education and research, or as administrators, or specialists.

Lectures and seminars are given entirely in Japanese, so that students are required for enough knowledge of the Japanese language. The program is demanding, and requires a high level of commitment from the students to complete the dissertation by the end of their third year.

This program is jointly administered by two institutions working in close collaboration: the Japan Foundation Japanese-Language Institute, Urawa (JFJLI), which has a proven track record and instructional expertise in training non-native Japanese language teachers, particularly in Japanese teaching methodology; and the National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies (GRIPS), a graduate-level academic research institution that studies societies and cultural policies, particularly Japanese culture, as part of a general program of policy research. The close collaboration among these two institutions enables them to provide comprehensive and high-level education and research opportunities in Japanese language education and culture.

Three-Year Doctoral Course

Policy Professionals Program This program is designed to cultivate policy analysis skills in government officials, journalists, etc., through the case study approach.

The central focus of this program, based on GRIPS’ aim of training policy practitioners with a high level of both practical knowledge and policy analysis skills based on academic learning, is the execution of doctoral dissertations based on case study research. The program specifically targets practitioners with substantial professional policy experience who also have basic policy analysis skills.

First-year students, in principle, attend an intensive series of lectures and seminars, drawing on the latter to create a thesis outline. In their second year, they return to their workplaces and their professional duties while continuing research in order to complete their thesis and earn a doctorate within three years.

The program seeks to make maximum use of students’ experience and awareness of policy issues, combining this efficiently with academic training at GRIPS to generate outstanding case study research and, in the process, hone students' skills as top-class policy practitioners. To this end, the curriculum focuses on development of analytical skills in the necessary academic disciplines, broadening of students' perspectives, and teaching of research skills through such endeavors as thesis writing. In addition to the disciplines of politics and public administration, the program draws widely on areas such as economics, international relations, law, and engineering.

Entry is, in principle, limited to policy practitioners who hold master's degrees and have the necessary practical experience and/or research skills to undertake case study research at the doctoral level in Japanese. They should have at least 10 years' experience working in organizations such as government departments, journalism, or non-profit organizations.

Graduate Program in Japanese Language and CultureThis program is designed for Japanese-language educators with the linguistic and cultural expertise for providing high-quality Japanese-language education and research. The objective of this program is to educate foreign teachers and/or professors who possess a broad base of knowledge and insight into Japanese language education, society, and culture. It also provides scholarly training in disciplines in order to develop abilities in conducting advanced academic research. It aims to produce individuals who are qualified to take an active role in Japanese language education in their own countries either as future leaders in Japanese language education and research, or as administrators, or specialists.

Lectures and seminars are given entirely in Japanese, so that students are required for enough knowledge of the Japanese language. The program is demanding, and requires a high level of commitment from the students to complete the dissertation by the end of their third year.

This program is jointly administered by two institutions working in close collaboration: the Japan Foundation Japanese-Language Institute, Urawa (JFJLI), which has a proven track record and instructional expertise in training non-native Japanese language teachers, particularly in Japanese teaching methodology; and the National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies (GRIPS), a graduate-level academic research institution that studies societies and cultural policies, particularly Japanese culture, as part of a general program of policy research. The close collaboration among these two institutions enables them to provide comprehensive and high-level education and research opportunities in Japanese language education and culture.

Three-Year Doctoral Course

Policy Professionals Program This program is designed to cultivate policy analysis skills in government officials, journalists, etc., through the case study approach.

The central focus of this program, based on GRIPS’ aim of training policy practitioners with a high level of both practical knowledge and policy analysis skills based on academic learning, is the execution of doctoral dissertations based on case study research. The program specifically targets practitioners with substantial professional policy experience who also have basic policy analysis skills.

First-year students, in principle, attend an intensive series of lectures and seminars, drawing on the latter to create a thesis outline. In their second year, they return to their workplaces and their professional duties while continuing research in order to complete their thesis and earn a doctorate within three years.

The program seeks to make maximum use of students’ experience and awareness of policy issues, combining this efficiently with academic training at GRIPS to generate outstanding case study research and, in the process, hone students' skills as top-class policy practitioners. To this end, the curriculum focuses on development of analytical skills in the necessary academic disciplines, broadening of students' perspectives, and teaching of research skills through such endeavors as thesis writing. In addition to the disciplines of politics and public administration, the program draws widely on areas such as economics, international relations, law, and engineering.

Entry is, in principle, limited to policy practitioners who hold master's degrees and have the necessary practical experience and/or research skills to undertake case study research at the doctoral level in Japanese. They should have at least 10 years' experience working in organizations such as government departments, journalism, or non-profit organizations.

Application qualifications Students who are eligible to apply for assistance under these guidelines (excluding those on extended leave) must fulfill all the following conditions:

1. The student must have passed the Qualifying Examination (QE) or be expected to pass the QE by the time of the conference.

2. The student must personally make a presentation at a conference recommended by the student’s main advisor (Participation in paper exhibitions or poster sessions does not constitute eligibility for this financial support.).

3. The student’s main advisor must have approved the student’s participation in the conference.

Application procedures In principle, the student must submit the following documents to the General Affairs Team in the Academic and Student Affairs Division at least two months before the day of departure for the conference. The approval of the student’s main advisor is necessary for application.

1. Application Form for Payment of Travel Expense Assistance for Conference Presentation (Appendix Form 1)

2. Announcement of the applicable academic conference (documents that give an outline of the conference)

3. Documents that show that the student is giving a presentation (a detailed program and a Letter of Acceptance)

4. In the case of travel by plane, an estimate or invoice of the airfare. If the amount includes expenses other than the airfare, a document showing the itemized breakdown is necessary.

5. A document showing the travel schedule (in the case of overseas travel, for example, a printed itinerary issued by a travel agency). 6. Creditor Data Registration Request Form (Appendix Form 2). (Not necessary if the student has already registered an account.)

7. Certificate of payment of conference participation fee and advance payment claim (when paid in advance) (Appendix Form 4).

If the participation fee includes reception, meal, accommodations, and other expenses, attach documents showing the itemized breakdown. * Late submission of a detailed program and a letter of acceptance (No. 3) are acceptable in special cases. Applicants must submit them as soon as the documents are issued. In case applicants cannot get them before departure, applicants must submit them within two weeks after their return. (With regard to a conference in March, applicants must submit all documents before departure.)

Screening procedure and amount of assistance 1. The Fellowship Committee screens the application documents and decides whether the application will be accepted. The amount of assistance will also be determined at the same time. * Late application submission and/or incomplete documents will delay screening.

Academic Writing Center (AWC)

English is the language of international

communication and research. Competency in English

has become critically important for researchers and

professionals around the globe. The mission of the

Academic Writing Center (AWC) is to help students

become competent users of English in order to succeed

in their graduate study at GRIPS and in future careers.

We offer a range of instruction in fundamental areas of

academic and professional English through academic

writing workshops, English courses, and individual

consultations.

Academic Writing Workshops

The AWC’s workshop series supports the production

of final policy papers and theses. It constitutes an

introduction to writing a graduate research paper and

becoming a fledgling practitioner of academic values

and practices. The workshops are designed on the

premise that writing is a social act. To learn to write,

students need to understand the requirements of the

target discourse community and try to approximate

their writing to the writing of experts in their fields. In

its current form the workshop series fulfills two

valuable functions: It socializes entering students into

the academic discourse community and articulates a

minimum standard of academic production across

GRIPS’ diverse programs.

English Courses

Every semester, we offer several elective skill-based

courses designed to help students improve their

English in a particular area. Examples include

Academic Presentation Skills, Writing for the Social

Sciences, English for Academic Purposes, Strategies

for Editing and Revising, and English for Policy

Studies. (For current offerings, check the Online

Syllabus.)

Individual Consultations

An individual consultation is a one-on-one meeting

with an AWC instructor to discuss a specific

assignment, get help with citations and references, or

receive feedback on a paper. In the fall and spring,

students undergo mandatory review of their research

proposals and/or final papers with mandatory

screening for plagiarism, followed by individual

consultations and submission of revised drafts.

Consultations can also be scheduled at any time upon

request.

Proofreading/Editorial Service

We offer a proofreading/editorial service for doctoral

students finalizing their dissertations or articles

intended for journal publication. Submissions are

limited to manuscripts in the final stages of

preparation. For details, please contact Professor

Petchko at [email protected].

Office Hours and Appointments

The Academic Writing Center, located in C507 (5th

floor), holds regular office hours for walk-in

consultations. Appointments are also available upon

request.
