For Faculty
As faculty, it is your responsibility and privilege to guide your students through the thesis or dissertation process. We have prepared the two guides below to assist you in ensuring that each step is correctly completed. Theses and dissertations that do not meet all of the Graduate School’s policies will not be approved.
