Dissertation Online Handbook
Handbook Overview
This handbook sets forth minimum requirements to be followed in all doctoral Professional Dissertations submitted to the School of Professional Psychology, Office of Academic Affairs (OAA). This is basically a guide to format, not an exhaustive guide to style or to the process of developing and writing a Professional Dissertation. This handbook is a modification of the Wright State University School of Graduate Studies Graduate Thesis/Professional Dissertation Handbook. For matters not specified by this handbook, you should consult the latest edition of the American Psychological Association (APA) Publications Manual. If you have questions or concerns, you should contact the Professional Dissertation Coordinator in the OAA at 775-3468.
The OAA is responsible for developing and enforcing the procedures and regulations guiding the process of writing and approving a Professional Dissertation, and for establishing matters of format and style not prescribed by this handbook. They are also responsible for making these procedures and regulations known to you. The signatures of your Professional Dissertation committee members on the Oral Defense Approval sheet certify that the content of your Professional Dissertation meets an acceptable standard of scholarship appropriate for doctoral candidates and verifies that you have successfully passed the oral defense of the Professional Dissertation. The signature of your chair on the Final Approval sheet indicates that the content and format of your Professional Dissertation is acceptable and that all final revisions have been made. The signature of the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs on the Final Approval sheet indicates that your Professional Dissertation meets all SOPP standards and is now complete.
