The committee consists of the thesis advisor as the committee chair, a second member from the Department of Educational Studies, and a third member must be from outside the School of Urban Education. An expert from outside the University may be used with the approval of the Graduate School. With the advisor’s approval, a draft of the thesis will be forwarded to the other members of the thesis committee for examination an review. After the thesis has been reviewed and judged ready for defense by the advisor and by the other members of the thesis committee, the student must pass an oral thesis examination. All thesis and oral examination requirements must be scheduled and completed to meet Graduate School deadlines.
