Ph.D. Committee

Each student shall have a doctoral committee to guide his/her program
of study. The committee will consist of at least five graduate
faculty members including a major professor and at least three other
graduate faculty members from the Department of
Mathematics and Statistics, subject to approval of the Graduate Coordinating
Committee. Students are encouraged to choose their major
professor early in their program of study. The student and the major
professor will then select the other committee members subject to the
approval of the Graduate Coordinating Committee. The departmental Graduate Coordinator
or his/her designate will serve as temporary advisor for the student
until the major professor is chosen.
The student and the doctoral committee will select the courses for the student's program of study with approval of the Graduate Coordinating Committee. The doctoral committee will also monitor the student's progress. |
