Dissertation and Oral Defense
Students choose their dissertation adviser and committee from among the faculty in the Texts and Technology Ph.D. program. They choose the adviser and committee after they have completed approximately 27 credit hours toward the degree (or after the first year and a half of course work). All dissertation committee members, including outside readers, must hold a Ph.D. or other relevant terminal degree.
Students must write a dissertation on their research that will explain and defend a significant original contribution to the field of Texts and Technology. It may be of a theoretical, historical, or pragmatic nature but must meet conventional academic standards of rigor, scholarship, relevance, and excellence. The research committee administers the candidate’s oral defense of the dissertation, with passing determined by acceptance by a majority of the committee. The dissertation advisor, the research committee, and the Dean of the college or designee must approve the final dissertation. Format approval is required from the Thesis and Dissertation Editor and final approval of satisfaction of degree requirements by the Division of Graduate Studies (Millican Hall 230).
