Program of study

Ph.D., Instructional Systems and Learning Technologies, Florida State University
Admitted Fall 2026. Major professor: Dr. Secil Caskurlu. Updated November 2026.

This program of study lists all the coursework I intend to complete for the Ph.D. It follows my student plan and the requirements in the 2026–27 ISLT Ph.D. Handbook. I will revise it with my advisor's approval as course offerings and my research needs change, and I will file the signed program of study in OASIS by the end of my third semester.

Before entering the Ph.D., I completed ten graduate courses at FSU between 2022 and 2024. Three of them, EDF 5400, EDF 5481, and EDP 5216, meet Ph.D. requirements directly. Because I work full time as an instructional designer at FSU, I am enrolling part time, usually taking six credit hours per term.
