PhD Program Plan for New Students

Before Creating Your Plan

Form a Special Advisory Committee in consultation with your advisor, that includes three faculty: your research advisor, at least one Thayer faculty member whose research interests are different from your own, and a third Thayer faculty member.

Schedule a meeting with each of the members of your Special Advisory Committee, either as a group or individually. The committee will assist you in identifying an individual program that fulfills the PhD program requirements and also encourages you to pursue opportunities for professional and career development. Consider your Special Advisory Committee as a resource.
