The student will compose and complete Chapters 1 and 2 within the boundaries of the proposal and research plan. Chapters 1-2 will cover the need for this research and a thorough literature review explaining the current state of the art with regard to the research question. Chapters 1- 2 will be reviewed by the student’s Chair and Committee and must be approved for the student to advance. Any disagreement within the committee will be reviewed by the Dean of Doctoral Programs. If the student chooses the publication option, the student should submit the literature review for publication.
