Dissertation Award
The purpose of the College of Education’s annual Dissertation Award is to recognize and reward the most outstanding dissertation defended in the College each year. While all students who successfully defend dissertations in the College are expected to meet high standards of scholarship, this award is designed to recognize the student whose dissertation most demonstrates exemplary creativity, skill, and thoroughness in designing, conducting and writing up research. Dissertations may be qualitative or quantitative and may draw from a variety of disciplines. Only dissertations that have been or will be defended within this academic year will be eligible.
