ADVISER SELECTION AND STUDENT ORIENTATION Updated: July, 1999 |
|
|
Each entering student is encouraged to select an advisor (or sponsor) before their arrival.
The advisor helps the student select an advisory
committee and notifies the Department Graduate Committee of this selection. The advisory
committee is composed of the advisor plus two (M. S. programs) or three (Ph. D. programs)
additional faculty members and it is expected to function throughout the student's career,
conducting the proficiency conference, the candidacy examination (for Ph.D. students) and the
thesis or dissertation examination. At least one of the committee members in addition to the
advisor must be from the department. If needed, a temporary advisor will be assigned who will
help the student select a temporary advisory committee. This committee will assist the student
in course selection and other matters until a permanent advisor is selected. The advisory
committee will administer an oral proficiency conference during the first quarter in residence.
This examination will assist the advisory committee to propose a course of study for the
student. The permanent advisor should be selected no later than the end of the student's
second quarter in residence, and must be a member of the graduate faculty willing to serve as
the student's advisor.
An Orientation Program given each Autumn Quarter assists the new student in choosing a field of specialization within the department and in the selection of a permanent advisor. The Orientation Program is of value in giving the new student an overview of the Department, and is required of all new graduate students, even if they have already selected an advisor. This program includes a visit to The Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center at Wooster. |
