LSP 913 Prospectus: Chapters 1-3
After completing comprehensive exams (one of which is dissertation related), the student develops a
Prospectus that will present the student’s research questions and strategy. The student’s Dissertation
Committee supervises the Dissertation writing process including the writing of the Prospectus. The
student defends the Prospectus in an open hearing. The student cannot begin dissertation research until
the Dissertation Committee accepts the Prospectus.
