Doctoral students are required to review the degree plans for their program, along with information about specific degree requirements and estimated timelines to reach various benchmarks for the different degree plan specializations.
Access to Milestones
To complete the required review of Milestones for your program, visit the Graduate Degree Planner and follow these steps:
Select the link to “See Your Program of Work at a Glance.”
Programs of work are also known as degree plans. If you have more than one degree plan assigned, you will see a list. (This can happen if you changed degree plans, are working on a master’s degree in addition to your doctoral degree, and/or previously graduated with a master’s degree.)
Select the “Program of Work” link for your doctoral degree plan.
You will see a list of program of work requirements and will be able to review how these requirements have been matched to your work by your graduate coordinator. At the bottom of the page, you will find a list of Milestones and your progress toward completion.
After your review, select “I have reviewed my Milestones.”
