Committee Listing

Establishing Your Committee

Congratulations on arriving at this great milestone!  As you look ahead and prepare for your comprehensive exam, a Committee--consisting of a Chair, Reader/Reviewer and Methodologist--will need to be established 4-weeks prior to your exam date.  This Committee will be responsible for working with you throughout the dissertation phase of your journey. Students are responsible for securing their Committee Chair.  A Methodologist and a Committee Reader/Reviewer will be assigned by the Doctoral Office.

Doctoral Faculty Eligible for Committee Work

Doctoral students are encouraged to own their doctoral journey, and are therefore responsible for securing their Committee Chair. A Methodologist and a Reviewer/Reader will be appointed to the student by the Doctoral Office.  Below is a listing of eligible doctoral faculty who can serve as chairs, categorized by program.  Please begin reaching out and connecting with faculty as you work to find your Committee Chair.  Once you have secured a Committee Chair, kindly send one email to dissertations@franklin.edu that includes: 1. your acceptance email from your Chair; and 2. a brief description of your research topic.

Students also have the flexibility of connecting with faculty outside their respective discipline, should they find a faculty member of suitable alignment. 

In the event that you need a faculty suggestion, after you have conducted a thorough search and inquiry, please feel free to contact your Program Chair:
