The Graduate Advisory Committee
Students electing the Thesis Track or any alternative in the Interdisciplinary Studies (Professional Practice) Options on their plan of study must have an advisory committee. Recommendations for members of the advisory committee are submitted by the student and student’s advisor to the unit chairperson and Dean for approval as part of the individual’s plan of study.
The advisory committee will include at least three faculty members. The student’s advisor will serve as chairperson and at least one other graduate faculty member from the same unit will serve on the committee. The third graduate faculty member may be drawn from outside the major field. Additional members from beyond the graduate faculty and/or the campus community may be included as the need for such diversity warrants. If the members of the advisory committee need to be changed, all affected parties should be informed.
