Graduate Student Thesis and Dissertation Supervision and Committee Membership
Note: The terms Senior Supervisor, Major Professor, Advisor, and Dissertation Committee Chair are used by different institutions to describe primary, senior, and ongoing responsibility for thesis or dissertation supervision. Variations in terminology reflect institutional and national naming conventions, particularly between Canada and the United States. For the purposes of this profile, PhD and EdD dissertations listed under these designations represent comparable levels of academic rigour, scope, and adjudication. Similarly, theses completed within MEd, MA, and MS programs are presented as comparable in rigour, scope, and adjudicative expectations.
