Graduate School policy requires that committee chairs be tenured or tenure-track full-time faculty
with a
completed
doctorate in the student’s specialty. In addition to the chair, committees must consist
of from three to six
members
(normally faculty from within the degree-granting school). At least half
of the committee members must be from
the
student’s home school. At least one member must be from
outside the student’s home school and serves
the
committee as the Graduate School representative.
One committee member may be from outside the pool of
graduate
faculty (e.g., faculty from other
institutions, alumni, community members, corporate partners, internship
supervisor,
and emeritus
faculty). All committee members should be experts in at least some aspect of the student’s
dissertation
topic area. The final committee roster and any subsequent changes in committee membership must be
formally
approved by the committee chair, department head or school director, and the Graduate
School.
