Proseminar I

Catalog description

The purpose of Proseminar is to introduce students to the fundamentals of doctoral study: how to read scholarly materials critically, how to systematically review literature relevant to an area of inquiry, and how to formulate a focused research question (or set of interrelated questions). This course will help students conceptualize their research projects for their dissertations and assist them in formulating rough drafts of dissertation proposals. During monthly meetings, students spend much of their time developing literature reviews on their topics of interest and preparing for their dissertation proposal hearings. Prerequisite: Enrollment in Executive Doctorate in Higher Education Management.
