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, comittees 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.
