Following successful completion of qualifying examinations and all coursework, every Doctoral candidate must present a dissertation proposal at a general meeting open to the Department faculty and fellow students. Arrangements for this presentation are made with the student s primary advisor and the Department Assistant ten days in advance of the presentation date. Copies of the Proposal are expected to be in the hands of the committee members one week prior to presentation. A copy of the proposal is electronically submitted to the Department Assistant who notifies all Department faculty and graduate students. Students enrolled in ECON 6000 are required to attend and participate in the Economics Workshops.
Continuous enrollment is required for all Doctoral students until graduation.
The Graduate College requires that PhD students complete their program within nine years of the date of first enrollment in the Doctoral program.
