Do students have a choice in selecting their dissertation committee?
Yes. As stated above, the dissertation committee must: (1) be chaired by an EDL faculty member and (2) have at least one additional member from EDL besides the chair. Given these requirements, students may choose their dissertation chair and committee members from the six-member Faculty Team that has been working with the cohort. The Team Leader does not necessarily chair, or serve on, all dissertations inthe cohort.
