ACCT 785 Dissertation Applied Research I
This course is an independent application of research, design, and methods that leads to the completion of an original research study under the guidance of the student's doctoral committee. Throughout the development, implementation, and evaluation of the dissertation project, the student should meet regularly with his/her dissertation chair. As necessary, the student should also meet with other members of his/her committee to review specific portions of the proposal as appropriate to their expertise. Periodic revisions should be circulated to all members of the committee upon approval of the committee chair. Revisions should be noted in a cover memo to the committee members such that they will be kept up to date. When the study is completed and ready, final approval must be received, in writing, from the chair of the dissertation committee with agreement from all members of the committee. This process must be completed at least one month prior to the proposed date for the dissertation defense. With the designated approval, the defense date will then be scheduled.
