Advisement

The Ph.D. program director will serve as the direct academic advisor for all Ph.D. students until a dissertation committee with a chairperson has formally identified. Once the dissertation committee chairperson is in place for a Ph.D. student, the chairperson of the dissertation committee will serve as the academic advisor for that Ph.D. student. Ph.D. students are required to meet with their academic advisor once every month and keep them updated on their progress in the program.
