Faculty

The Ph.D. Program Committee

This committee of 10 professors (the Co-directors plus four other Program Faculty from each campus) is responsible for administering the Joint Ph.D. Program in Education. The Committee deals with matters of recruitment and admissions, curriculum, Program evaluation, student progress, and the Program's policies and procedures.

The Ph.D. Program Faculty

All students in the Program have their own Doctoral Committee of four (in some unusual cases, five) professors (at least two from each campus). These individual Doctoral Committees have the primary responsibility as mentors during the years of doctoral work, culminating in the dissertation. The chair of a Doctoral Committee - known as the Major Professor - serves as a student's overall academic advisor and as the chair of the dissertation. Only the members of the Program Faculty (about 20 members of the graduate faculty from each campus) are eligible to serve as Major Professor.

The Graduate Faculty

A complete listing of the Graduate Faculty at each campus is included in their current catalogs. Professors on the Graduate Faculty may serve as members of Doctoral Committees, although (as noted above) the chair of a Doctoral Committee must also belong to the Program Faculty.
