During the dissertation phase of their program, students work to develop and defend research topics, proposals, and their full dissertation with their Dissertation Committee. The dissertation is a large-scale, closely supervised research project, with extensive research, writing, and revision expected. Students offer regular progress updates to their dissertation committee members, who in turn meet with the doctoral program director to ensure sufficient progress.
