(2) Committee members will evaluate the non-technical comprehensive exam completed in the student's final semester of study. The supervisory committee is responsible for:- approving the student’s academic program,- approving the thesis or dissertation subject,- reading and approving the thesis or dissertation,- administering and judging the final oral examination (thesis or dissertation defense). The chair of the supervisory committee directs the student’s research and writing of the thesis or dissertation. Other Responsibilities: The final oral examination may be chaired by any member of the supervisory committee consistent with departmental policy. If a student’s preliminary work is deficient, the supervisory committee may require supplementary courses for which no credit may be applied to the Program of Study. Decisions concerning program requirements, examinations, and the thesis or dissertation are made by majority committee vote.
