Doctoral degree students are
required to complete a dissertation research project as part of their degree
programs. To satisfy KIN degree requirements, the student must successfully
propose, implement, and defend the thesis research project according to MSU
policies as posted on the Graduate School
web site. Dissertation students should also consult the
Guidelines
on Student/Faculty Collaboration in Research.
Recommendations
Students are reminded that they must be registered in an MSU
course in the semester of graduation; therefore, it is prudent to "save" at
least one KIN 999 credit for the semester of graduation.

Enrollment
Discuss the proposed research project with your advisor and guidance
committee and secure their
agreement to supervise your work.
If your advisor is not the most appropriate person to mentor you on
the dissertation research project, you may select a different person as
dissertation director. This should be a mutual decision involving your
advisor, the dissertation director, and the student.
