Advisor and the Advisory Committee
Based on their research interests, graduate students should choose a primary (or co-advisors),
no later than the end of the first academic year. The program will adhere to the graduate
school policy for advisor and advisory committee. The advisory committee must be approved
by the graduate program director or KIP department chair.
Thesis Proposal
The thesis proposal should contain a review of the literature, a problem statement/rationale,
study hypotheses, research design, proposed methods/research strategy, and pilot data
when possible. The primary advisor, with input from the committee members, can decide
on the proposal format. This thesis proposal should be reviewed and approved by the
advisory committee.
Written Thesis
The thesis will be written and prepared under the supervision of the primary advisor
and the advisory committee according to the requirements of the Graduate School.
Final Oral Examination
The final requirement will be a public oral presentation of the thesis and an oral
examination in accordance with the requirements of the Graduate School.
