Dissertation Process
All dissertation procedures and forms required by OGS are available online.
A candidate for the Ph.D. degree is expected to complete the dissertation requirement within three years after admission to candidacy. During one of the semesters after being advanced to candidacy, the student must enroll in EDP 196: Colloquium-Doctoral Research, which consists of individual presentations by students of their dissertation research. EDP 196: Colloquium-Doctoral Research is offered every long semester.
Please note: If you are using your faculty adviser’s time for supervision of writing related to your dissertation before you are approved for candidacy, you should be registered for EDP 395.
