Dissertation Proseminar

Catalog description

The primary purpose of this support course is to help doctoral candidates develop a solid dissertation research agenda and complete the introduction chapter of the dissertation. However, in the educational leadership doctoral program at Manhattanville, a student's "dissertation research" should be an example of the type of research and scholarship and education leader might engage in while working in a professional setting. Therefore, virtually all the content and work in this course will be applicable to work well beyond the dissertation. This course is also a continuation of the Scholarly and Professional Communication course doctoral candidates take in the first year of doctoral work. Doctoral candidates are expected to continue to refine and develop research skills as a practitioner-scholar, and become a disseminator of scholarship and applied research. This course may be repeated as needed.
