The student may select a dissertation chair among members of the Bloustein School graduate faculty, who may or may not be the student's former faculty adviser. Before presenting himself or herself for the qualifying examination,
the student must procure a letter from a member of the faculty of the
doctoral program expressing willingness to chair and supervise the
student's dissertation. This letter is to be submitted to the director of the doctoral program and the Bloustein School's Office of Student and Academic Services.
