CFTD 876 - CFT Dissertation I and Proposal Defense

1
Preparation and completion of the dissertation proposal, including the first three chapters: introduction, literature review, and methodology. Once this proposal document has been deemed ready by the Dissertation Chair for review, the student will submit the document to the entire committee for formal review. The doctoral student will defend the proposal in an oral presentation to the dissertation committee. With the approval of the committee, the student may then register for CFTD 877. If the proposal is denied, the student must work with the Chair to revise the original proposal or submit a new proposal, continuously enrolling in CFTD-876 until the proposal has been successfully defended.
