very important information
“3. Within six months of successful completion of the written exam and/or oral follow-up, the student must give an oral research proposal before the advisory committee. The purpose of this presentation is to determine the feasibility of the student’s proposed thesis topic. The research proposal is open to the public and must be advertised at least two weeks prior to the presentation. The student will be provided a detailed summary of the committee’s assessment and recommendations. At the discretion of the advisory committee, a student may be asked to give a subsequent oral proposal at a later date.” – graduate handbook
SIX MONTHS. I had a faint scary memory of six WEEKS. Six months is incredibly doable. Comps in March – I can definitely have a proposal together by Sept.
WOOT!
