Dissertation Seminar - Finance track

Course #: BUSADM 777, Class #: 2757, Section #: 01

Description

The primary purpose of this course is to apply one's cumulative understanding and skills learned from two years of course work. This seminar is structured around a series of assignments and milestones during which the students will be encouraged to work collaboratively among themselves and occasionally with other faculty members in their area of interest. The goal is to provide a structured approach to produce a research work plan and milestones for their third year by the end of the semester. This course does not aim to provide additional substantive material or methodological toolkit, the way typical graduate course do. From the perspective of one's program of study, however, this course poses a real-world test helping to make a realistic transition from coursework to dissertation.
