PhD Student Handbook
Degree Requirements - Doctoral Advisory Committee
The Doctoral Advisory Committee is charged with planning and approving the student's program from entrance into the program through the written preliminary and oral examinations.
The doctoral committee must consist of a minimum of three members of the Graduate Faculty, including the student's Major Professor, who will serve as chair of the committee. Provisional Graduate Faculty may serve in the same capacity as regular Graduate Faculty but cannot serve as chair of the committee. Additional voting members may be appointed to the committee, including no more than one non-UGA faculty, who must hold the terminal degree in their field of study. If there are more than three members, there must be greater than 50% Graduate Faculty representation. Changes in committee composition can be made, but such changes require resubmission of the student's plan of study with signatures of the revised advisory committee.
