ADVISEMENT

  1. Each student should consult with the department's general graduate advisor before registering for the first semester of classes.
  2. Each student is also encouraged to identify a general thesis topic as soon as possible. This will permit the selection of an appropriate faculty advisor who, in consultation with the student, will help to identify a second member of the student's advisory committee. The third member of this committee will be assigned by the department.
  3. Once the membership of the advisory committee has been established, the student should rely upon its members, but especially the chairperson, for assistance in the selection of his/her elective courses, and for advice and direction in the thesis research.
  4. Until such time as the advisory committee has been formed, the student should continue to consult with the department's graduate advisor.
