Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Nutrition^*

Macdonald College

Abstract

The more one contemplates this rather innocuous sounding topic, the less straight-forward appears to be the pathway to the conclusion and final statement of the case. In attempting to organize my own thinking I have first broken the subject down into what seemed to be logical and perhaps obvious parts—dealing with each separately before attempting to draw any general picture.

Thus I shall present my material under the following headings:

1. Qualifications for admission to candidacy for the Ph.D.
   
2. Organized course work demanded of the graduate student.
   
3. The research project.
   
4. Implications of the Ph.D. degree.
   
5. Requirements for the Ph.D. in nutrition.
   

Before going further, however, I wish to acknowledge the assistance of many members of our society in furnishing information and opinions on this subject in response to a questionnaire. I also wish it understood that the principal object of this paper is to stimulate thought and discussion on a matter about which there is today no unanimity of opinion or procedure—which latter incidentally may be a strenght rather than a weakness in the implications of the Ph.D. degree.
