What are the responsibilities of my doctoral committee?
Your doctoral committee is critical to your development as a historian. It guides you through the selection of your course work and approves all course work applied toward the degree. It determines what languages or research methods you need. It oversees your study for the doctoral Comprehensive Examinations and conducts your Group II examination. It advises you on the selection of a dissertation topic, guides your research, critiques your writing, and evaluates your completed dissertation.
