Advisor InformationKasim Korkmaz PhD , 207 Sill Hall, 734.487.0354 Program InformationGraduate Assistantships Students may be eligible for graduate assistantships while they are enrolled in the program full-time, where full-time is defined as enrolled in a minimum of eight credits. If awarded, a student will be assigned to a faculty member in his or her area of research interest. He or she will spend 20 hours per week assisting with research and teaching activities. Graduate assistants may be asked to assist with class preparations, presentations, and grading, as well as with data collection, preparation, and analysis. Faculty members will serve as mentors to their students, training and guiding them in developing their own research plans for dissertation work. Students may request specific faculty persons as mentors and may request a change in mentor as they matriculate through the program. Every effort will be made to accommodate student requests within reason. Graduate assistantships include tuition waiver and stipend and are usually 8-month appointments. Graduate/Doctoral Fellowships A few graduate/doctoral fellowships are available to highly qualified students who have full admission to the doctoral program and have served as graduate assistants at EMU. The graduate fellowship is a distinction of honor awarded to selected graduate students based on academic merit and demonstrated abilities. Fellowships are available only for full-time doctoral students. Fellows must enroll in and complete at least eight hours of graduate-level course work in each of the Fall and Winter terms of the award. Fellowships are 12-month appointments and students must be enrolled in courses every semester during the year, Fall-Winter-Summer. Fellows must have a minimum 3.6 cumulative masters-level GPA to receive consideration. Doctoral students who have already begun their programs must have a minimum 3.6 cumulative doctoral GPA to receive consideration for fellowships. A doctoral fellow’s responsibilities may include, but are not limited to, the following: - Provide research assistance to faculty.
- Participate in research, sponsored or un-sponsored, at the level of a research investigator.
- Teach two College of Technology courses in an area in which they are qualified.
- Assist in the maintenance of the College and/or a department or program’s website(s).
- Assist in the development and operation of seminars and symposia for the college.
- Perform tasks and duties normally associated with the honor of a fellowship.
The stipends and related benefits will be in accordance with those currently in effect for graduate assistants and doctoral fellows. Candidacy Qualifying Examination The College of Technology doctoral program requires students to participate in a Candidacy Qualifying Examination to demonstrate their understanding of applications of multiple research methods related to applied technology in their selected field of concentration. After students have completed the majority of their doctoral course work, except for the dissertation research, they are required to complete a candidacy qualifying exam. The purpose of this examination is to determine students’ mastery of the literature base, research design knowledge, and problems and issues in their field of concentration. The examination requires that the student answer written-questions on the technology core, the concentration, and the research core. The written exam will be administered simultaneously to all eligible students during the Fall and Winter semesters at a pre-determined time. An oral examination will be scheduled within one month of the written exam and involve the student’s dissertation committee. Students are expected to provide evidence of their ability to identify doctoral-level research problems, analyze and synthesize background information related to the problems, and apply appropriate research methodologies for the collection and analysis of data to resolve the problems. See details on specific requirements and pre-requisite courses for the Candidacy Qualifying Examination in the COT Doctoral Program Student Handbook. Failing this exam will result in a review of the student’s performance in the Ph.D. program by the Doctoral Operations Committee. The committee may recommend that the student be dismissed from the doctoral program, be permitted to withdraw from the doctoral program, or be allowed to retake the examination (either partially or totally) after a remediation plan has been developed and implemented. Re-examination may not take place until at least three months have elapsed, but must occur within one calendar year. The results of the second examination are final. Dissertation After students have passed the candidacy qualifying examination, they may begin work on their doctoral dissertation proposal. Proposals must be developed under the oversight of a dissertation committee, and formally presented to the committee in a venue similar to the Candidacy Qualifying Examination. After a student has completed all course work requirements, received the approval of the dissertation research proposal, and completed the dissertation research, they will present the final results of their dissertation research to their doctoral committee. The student must give the committee a minimum of two weeks to read the final copy of the dissertation. After the committee has read the dissertation, the student will present their work to the committee, faculty and guests. At the end of the presentation, the committee will ask questions of the student to either clarify the research or to ensure that the student understands the background, results, and ramifications of the research. At the end of the presentation, the committee will deliberate alone on the results of the defense. They may recommend that the student pass with minimal corrections to the dissertation or with major corrections, or, in rare cases, ask the student to redo significant portions of the research. See details on this requirement and the courses related to it in the current COT Doctoral Program Student Handbook. Degree Requirements: 60 hoursThe doctoral program requires the completion of a minimum of 60 graduate credit hours of study, beyond the master’s degree. Its 60 credit component parts are: - Technology core courses that provide a common knowledge base for all students;
- Technology concentration courses that enhance technical expertise and promote technology literacy supporting the area of the student’s doctoral research;
- Cognate courses shaped around individual research interests;
- Research skills across a variety of settings;
- A scholarly research study, original work as performed by the student; and
- Dissertation.

McKinion ![phd in eastern philosophy](https://www.sebts.edu/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/FacultyHeadshot_StephenEccher_WebRes-1-300x450.jpg) Stephen B. Eccher Contact the Office of PhD StudiesOffice Coordinator Frequently Asked QuestionsWriting sample, what is the committee looking for in my writing sample. We ask applicants to submit a 4,000 – 6,000 words (including footnotes), thesis driven writing sample. - This sample should have been written at the graduate level of study.
- We prefer the paper to be in your chosen area of study.
- We are looking for papers that demonstrate a proper use of primary and secondary sources, and display research and argumentation suitable for PhD level studies.
Does my writing sample have to be previously graded?It does not, though, if you do use a previously graded paper, be sure to incorporate your professor’s feedback into your final draft. What if my best writing sample is greater than 6,000 words?We encourage you to edit the paper down to try to get under 6,000 words. We don’t actually count the number of words, but if we notice that your writing sample is more pages than it should be, we’ll ask you to submit a different sample. May I use just a chapter from my thesis then for my writing sample?You may be able to do so, but it will take some effort on your part as we require a stand-alone paper that has a thesis, clear argumentation, and a conclusion. Typically pulling a chapter from your thesis will not meet all those requirements because you refer to earlier arguments or push others off until later which your paper judge won’t be able to see. TranscriptsWhat transcripts are required. Official transcripts from ALL schools that you have previously attended post high school are required. Does that mean if I have an MBA, a M.Ed., a law degree or another degree that is not theologically related that I need to request that transcript be sent also?Yes, it does. Why are transcripts required?Besides being an accreditation requirement, transcripts are required so that we may confirm that you have the coursework necessary to be successful in our program, and that you will be able to handle the rigor of doctoral level work. What is MDiv Equivalency?To meet MDiv Equivalency, applicants must have completed 60 credit hours of study with at least 49 credit hours completed at the graduate level. In addition, the following courses must be completed. - NT Survey I, II (6hrs.) Doctrine Survey I, II (6hrs.)
- OT Survey I, II (6hrs.) Church History I, II (3-6hrs.)**
- Greek I, II (6-9hrs.)* Hermeneutics (3hrs.)
- Hebrew I, II (6-9hrs.)* Baptist History (3hrs.)***
*Biblical language expectations depend on applicant’s given Area of Study ***Baptist History is required for applicants pursuing Historical Theology and Theological Studies: Historical Theology These courses can be completed at the undergraduate level. We will accept a maximum of 27 credit hours from the undergraduate level. After that explanation, I am not sure whether I have all the coursework required? How can I check?We are happy to look over your transcripts and evaluate them to confirm that you meet our MDiv Equivalency requirements. You can email unofficial transcripts to [email protected] If I need additional coursework, do I have to stop the application process?Every situation is unique. However, most applicants with 1-2 required courses can proceed through the application process while completing their leveling work. Do I have to take the courses that I am missing from SEBTS?You are welcome to take the coursework from any accredited institution. Will my GPA from my undergraduate degree be considered?No, we only look at all your “Graduate” level work to determine whether your GPA is 3.5 or above. Will my MBA or other graduate degrees that have no theological coursework be considered in my overall GPA?Yes, ALL graduate level work is considered when calculating an applicant’s GPA. We expect an applicant to have a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.5 on ALL previous master’s level work. What are my options if my GPA is too low?If you just missed the mark but have required leveling work to complete, you may be able to bring your GPA up that way. If you don’t have required leveling work, or your GPA is far below the 3.5 mark, we recommend pursuing the ThM program as a way of continuing into PhD work. Can I submit my application before finishing my current degree?Yes, you can send us an unofficial transcript for the admissions process. If you are admitted to the program, you will be granted an acceptance that is contingent on the completion of your current degree. Once your degree is conferred, please request an official transcript to be forwarded to us. NOTE: It take several weeks after graduation for transcripts to show the degree was conferred. So, confirm that the institution has had time to confer the degree on your transcript before requesting it be sent to us. Where do I submit my transcripts?Please submit official transcripts directly to the Office of PhD Studies. If your institution sends transcripts electronically, please have them sent to [email protected] . What is the address of the PhD office?Office of PhD Studies SEBTS: Carson Hall 204 P.O. Box 1889 244 N. Wingate Street Wake Forest, NC 27588-1889 Major ProfessorWhat is the role of the major professor. Your Major Professor will serve as a guide throughout your entire doctoral experience. Alongside the Office of PhD Studies, your Major Professor will provide assistance as to which seminars to register for and aid in determining the research language(s) you will need to show proficiency in. During the year of mentorship, the professor will meet with you on a regular basis to help fill gaps in your knowledge, prepare you for comprehensive exams, and preparing a prospectus. They will continue to guide you through to the completion of your dissertation. How do you choose a Major Professor? How do I find out who may serve in that role?Choosing a Major Professor is your responsibility and something that should not be taken lightly. The professor you choose is somebody you will be working with during your entire time in the doctoral program. You are welcome to talk with us in the office and we will make suggestions as to who may serve in that role. Professors enjoy hearing from applicants such as yourself and typically want to set up a time where you can either have a phone conversation or talk over Zoom or Teams. Once a Major Professor agrees to serve in that role, what are the next steps?Once you have determined who you wish to work with and the professor has agreed, you will be able to enter the professor’s name in the application and send him/her the Major Professor Evaluation to complete. When the professor completes the form, then we know that you all have spoken, and he/she is willing to work with you if you are accepted. References and RecommendationsHow many personal references are required. There are a total of 5 personal references (2 academic references, 1 pastor reference, and 2 character references). Who can serve as my academic references?Professors who can provide information regarding your ability to do high level academic research. It is suggested that one of the academic references be from a professor in the area of study you are pursuing. Your Major Professor MAY NOT serve as an academic reference. I have been out of school for a long time, and I am not sure any of my previous professors would remember me. Who do I ask in this case? We suggest that you select individuals that know how you respond in an academic type setting. Once you arrive at a few individuals, we would ask that you email or call us so that we can talk about your choices, prior to you requesting they complete the reference. Who can serve as a pastor reference?Any non-family member who serves as your pastor and who has known you for at least 1 year. If you currently serve as pastor of a church, we ask that if the church has other pastors on staff, that one of them complete this form on your behalf. If you are the only pastor on staff, then choose a pastor to complete the form whom you consider to be a mentor, whether formally or informally. Who can serve as character references?Any non-family member who has known you for at least 2 years. RecommendationsWhat is the church recommendation and who should i ask to complete this form. The Church Recommendation confirms that the church you entered is where your current membership is held. The form also asks whether your church cooperates and is affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC). This form can be completed by the pastor, but oftentimes an Administrative Assistant, Church Clerk or Church Secretary completes this form. Who completes the Major Professor Evaluation?You will need to select a Major Professor, a professor from SEBTS who will work alongside you as you move through our program. You will need to meet with and get a tentative agreement from a potential Major Professor before you enter their information on your application. How do I find a professor to serve in the role of Major Professor if I am not attending SEBTS?If you are looking for someone to serve as your Major Professor and do not know where to begin, we provide a Major Professor Directory upon request. The directory lists professors who can serve in that role, what areas of study they can oversee, what their areas of expertise are and how to contact them. They enjoy hearing from applicants such as yourself and typically set up a time where you can either have a phone conversation or talk over Zoom or Teams. Can my Major Professor also serve as an Academic Reference?Your Major Professor may NOT serve as one of your academic references. Major Professors are required to complete a separate evaluation that serves as their recommendation. What should my spouse include in their statement?Your spouse should write about 250 words. It should include a testimony of your spouse’s conversion experience and sincere commitment to Jesus Christ, and a statement of his/her commitment to support you in the pursuit of your studies. International StudentsInternational students must complete two different application processes, one academic and one legal. Academically, acceptance is based on the admissions portfolio (i.e. application, references, TOEFL exam, etc.). Legally, acceptance is based on the result of the international paperwork (i.e. visa, I-20, etc.). An international student must be accepted academically AND legally before he/she will receive a student visa and a formal letter officially accepting him/her into the Ph.D. program as an international student. In addition, international students are required to pay a deposit before being issued an I-20. The deposit is currently $2,500 for a single student and $3,500 for a married student. Application InquiriesAll inquiries concerning applications to the PhD program may be emailed to the office coordinator at [email protected] . Need More Information?Opportunities for phd students.
