Dissertation Committee

The Dissertation Committee oversees the scientific progress of students toward the completion of their degrees. Faculty members on the Committee are selected for expertise in the thesis area so they can contribute substantial intellectual insight in direction of the project. The Committee must have at least four members, as a minimum, at least one member of the Biological Chemistry Program, two other members from the Division faculty, and the student's mentor. The Committee meets at least once a year to provide guidance and advice and to ensure a student’s satisfactory progression toward a degree.
