The UIC doctorate in Communication allows you great flexibility but requires that you formulate a program of study to submit for approval. The Graduate Program Committee (GPC) reviews proposals once each semester. You can make your initial submission during any semester, and earlier is better to get input on your plan. Submissions after the third semester of study will likely extend the time you need to complete your program.
