Doctoral Committee

A Doctoral Committee is a group of academic experts who guide and evaluate a PhD student throughout their research journey. Typically composed of faculty members from the student’s department and sometimes other fields, the committee helps ensure that the student’s work is rigorous and relevant. They provide feedback on research proposals, oversee the student’s progress, and ultimately assess their dissertation, which is a comprehensive project that contributes new knowledge to the field. The committee plays a vital role in maintaining academic standards and supporting the student’s professional development.
