Can my adviser serve as the chair of my doctoral Preliminary Oral and doctoral Final Oral committee?
The Graduate School allows a student’s adviser to serve as the chair for Preliminary Oral Exam only. However, some graduate programs do not allow the adviser to serve as Preliminary Oral Exam chair. Check with your graduate program before designating the Prelim chair. Your adviser cannot, however, serve as chair for the Final Exam committee.
