I have received notification today that the Capella University Institutional Review Board has approved my dissertation proposal - it's off to the oral defense! I plan to defend the proposal withing the next four weeks once I can get the committee to agree to the schedule. Shawn
Shawn, How awesome, congrats! Best of luck with your oral defense. How long do you figure it will take you, from start to finish, to do your dissertation process, post-comps? Cheers, Adrienne
I started the dissertation in March 2006 - I expect to be complete December 2009. The proposal took a lot longer than expected, and I took a quarter off to take care of family business. (I have 7 kids - so life is hectic at my house). My mentor and I are working to bring the committee together for the proposal defense during the last week of October. Shawn
