Dissertation Individual Supervision and Completion – IV

Over one further semester of group supervision and two semesters of individual supervision, students will complete and submit their IRB proposal, conduct their study, collect and analyze their data, interpret their results, submit their written dissertation, and undergo an oral dissertation defense. The final written product is expected to be of a quality suitable for publication in an academic journal. Students may conduct an empirically-based or literature-based (e.g., literature review, theoretical paper). 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 to engage with their chair on a regular basis during this time, and to enroll in 3 credits of Dissertation each semester until completion of their dissertation.
