Dissertation Prospectus Review
When the Advisor and readers have approved the proposal, the student and the director will schedule a Dissertation
Prospectus Review to be attended by the student, the Advisor, and all other members of the dissertation committee.
Faculty and/or graduate students may be invited to the review at the discretion of the student. The review should be
no less than one hour in length. The advisor, the readers, and others in attendance will discuss the proposal with the
student in order to insure that the student is ready to proceed in the project. When the advisor and the readers agree
that the student is ready, they will sign off on the proposal and submit it to the Director of Graduate Studies. The
candidate then proceeds to the dissertation.
By signing below, the members of the student's committee certify that the student is prepared to begin work
on the dissertation.
