Ph.D. Advising

Donald G. Godfrey, Ph.D., is the director of the Cronkite School’s doctoral program. Once a student is accepted into the program, the student will be assigned a faculty mentor who will serve as his or her adviser. In consultation with the director of the Ph.D. program, the student and adviser will develop a plan of study that lists all of the courses the student will take as part of his or her degree. The plan of study will include the Cronkite School’s required core courses as well as research methods and elective courses in other ASU schools and departments.

Yolanda Murphy is the Cronkite School’s graduate student support specialist senior. She assists prospective students with questions about the application process and deadlines. Once a student is accepted into a Cronkite graduate program, Murphy provides advice on registration and related issues.

Murphy tracks each student’s degree progress and frequently communicates with students regarding important dates, events, opportunities and deadlines.
