Research for and preparation of doctoral dissertation proposal. The dissertation proposal must provide a thorough survey of the research activities in the research topic area and it must present original and innovative research ideas and preliminary results as well as a defined research scope and directions. PhD students must have passed this course before registering for doctoral dissertation research credits. This course may also be applied toward MS thesis or project credit if PhD student leaves prior to completing their dissertation. In all cases, required deliverables are an oral defense and a written document approved by the student's committee.Graded P/F.
