Dissertation Committee

A dissertation committee is a group of experienced scholars, usually faculty members from a university, who guide and evaluate a graduate student's research project. Their role is to provide expertise, monitor progress, offer feedback, and ensure the work meets academic standards. Ultimately, they assess the student's ability to contribute new knowledge to the field through a formal defense of their dissertation. The committee acts as both mentors and evaluators, supporting the student throughout the research process and ensuring the quality and integrity of the final dissertation.
