Course Overview

The Dissertation Seminar is for students preparing their dissertation proposal. Students will describe a problem area and explore research hypotheses (Chapter 1), develop a rationale for a study through the literature review (Chapter 2), and come up with appropriate research methodology and data analysis (Chapter 3). Students will share their progress on the development of their dissertation proposal and give feedback to their peers. The course can be repeated up to three times until the research proposal is approved by the student’s dissertation committee.

Open to all HSLS students who have passed their Ph.D. candidacy examination and are preparing their dissertation proposal.
