2.1 Overview of the Advising Process
Each student will work closely with a Primary Academic Advisor and a Dissertation Research Chair during the program. Together these individuals oversee the design of the Plan of Study, preparation for the Dissertation Prospectus which includes the design and completion of the three (3) scholarly articles.
Some students entering the program may have a already identified research question, and some may not. All students will be assigned a faculty member in the HPEd department who could serve in an advisory role for the scholarly work that is required for the PhD; a Primary Academic Advisor will assist the student in this process. The Primary Academic Advisor can (but does not have to) also serve as the Dissertation Chair.
