Dissertation

Each semester of your third year you will enroll in a 3-credit dissertation course, with the expectation that you would spend at least 10 hours/week working on your dissertation as a fulltime student. The dissertation is intended to be the final demonstration of research competence, and may involve either (or both) qualitative or quantitative methodologies. The Dissertation must be proposed, defended and submitted as a manuscript ready for journal submission. Students who do not complete the dissertation within three semesters must enroll in dissertation continuation.
