The Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degree is intended primarily for students who desire a career in research, advanced development or teaching. PhD programs are designed to give students a broad background in mathematics and engineering sciences, together with intensive study and research experience in a specialized area. Current Stanford MS students interested in adding a PhD program to their academic career should speak with the staff at the Student Services Office about the necessary paperwork and relevant policies. If you are a current master's student in the Stanford Mechanical Engineering department, to apply for the PhD, you must complete paperwork prior to conferring the MS degree. Failure to do so will require an application through the online admissions process along with all other external applicants. Application Deadlines Start Quarter Application Date Autumn 2020-2021 December 3, 2019 Winter 2020-2021* October 6, 2020 Spring 2020-2021* January 12, 2021 Autumn 2021-2022 December 1, 2020 *Students wishing to apply to the PhD program to start in Winter or Spring quarter must contact directly first.
Some teachers may object that Standard American English is not used throughout the text: what about literacy standards? As George Yancy insists, "the medium" must "be the message" in African American discourse, and Bambara wastes not a word of the tale: because the very language itself exists in tension with so-called Standard American English, the entire fabric of the text speaks the author's "Lesson" to the dominant culture (275). Should one assimilate to American culture, as immigrants before, and learn and use only English; should one reject Standard American English and retain one's affiliation with the country of origin by maintaining one's use of that language or dialect; or should one adopt a middle road, becoming bilingual/bidialectal and code-switching (Wheeler & Swords 2004) between Standard American English when expected in professional and academic settings and maintaining the home language/dialect in private or informal situations? However, in agreement with Wassink and Curzan's (2004) call for commonality, the present study will use African American English and Standard American English terminologies, which are the current norm in the research literature.
