697 Doctoral Dissertation Proposal

Prerequisites: 498, 638, 639, 640, 696. One of the most important phases in preparation of the dissertation is writing the proposal in the selected area of research. Registration for this course is the first formal step in completing the dissertation. Students are required to complete and successfully orally defend a proposal to the satisfaction of their dissertation committee. Approval of the dissertation proposal is also a requirement for all students prior to applying for internship. Students who do not complete this requirement during the first term of registration are required to register for 695 each term thereafter until completed. Failure to successfully complete the dissertation proposal after three terms will result in referral to the Student Comprehensive Evaluation Committee for review. (0 credits)
