Dissertation Individual Supervision and Completion – II

Over three semesters of individual supervision, dissertation chairs will supervise students to complete their dissertation research and writing, submit their written dissertation, and undergo an oral dissertation defense. In PSY 9001, students conducting empirically-based dissertations will collect and analyze their dissertation data, students conducting literature-based studies (e.g., literature reviews, theoretical papers) will analyze their preliminary findings. The final written product is expected to be suitable for publication in an academic journal. If the student has not completed their dissertation before leaving for internship, they are expected to make continuous progress during each semester they are on internship and for a maximum of three additional semesters following completion of internship, to engage with their chair on a regular basis during this time, and to enroll in the dissertation course each semester. Prerequisite: PSY 9000. Course Restrictions: Restricted to students in the Doctorate of Clinical Psychology program.
