BUS 799 - Dissertation Defense

Units: 1
The dissertation defense will be a public oral examination open to all members of the University community including faculty, students, and invited guests. Questioning of the candidate will be directed by the student’s dissertation supervising committee. All members of the student’s committee must be present at the defense. Although the defense is concerned primarily with the dissertation research and its interpretation (presentation of the research questions, findings, conclusions, and recommendations), the examining committee may explore the student’s knowledge of areas relevant to the core of the dissertation problem.
