Comprehensive examinations involve a series of individualized research questions incorporating and expanding upon the findings of doctoral course work. Doctoral students must complete the comprehensive examinations successfully before the prospectus can be approved and dissertation data gathering can begin.
After completing comprehensive exams (one of which is dissertation related), the student develops a Prospectus that will present the student’s research questions and strategy. The student’s Dissertation Committee supervises the Dissertation writing process including the writing of the Prospectus. The student defends the Prospectus in an open hearing. The student cannot begin dissertation research until the Dissertation Committee accepts the Prospectus.
The student implements the research design submitted and approved in LSP913 Prospectus Defense: Chapters 1-3. Data are collected and dissertation conclusions developed. The student writes and defends the final dissertation product. The process of writing the Dissertation is not a sudden enterprise, but a progressive investigation of a line of empirical inquiry begun in the research seminars. Students first encounter the empirical research model in the first term during the Critical Inquiry and Research Design course. Through seminar course work, students continue to identify potential research questions. In the Empirical Research seminars, the student receives formal training in research methodologies. As the student progresses through the sequence of required seminars, each student will develop their study of the literature base related to their intended dissertation topic. In the final Empirical Research seminar, students gain skills in instrument design, data collection, and the selection of statistical techniques. Based on these seminars, the student completes the "Prospectus" described above. Once approved, the student embarks on the dissertation research and writing task.
