DBA 8134: Dissertation Lab II
3 credits
In these courses, beginning in the Spring semester of the second year, students work with their advisors and dissertation committees on their personal research projects. In the early phase of this course sequence, students individually develop their dissertation proposals and defend them to their dissertation committee. In the third year, students will focus on executing their research and writing their dissertation. Once the dissertation has been completed, each student defends the dissertation in a public dissertation defense. A three-member faculty committee determines whether the student passed the defense successfully.
