After the granting of the doctorate, the university will preserve
the dissertation in an electronic archive. The dissertation, therefore,
must be prepared with the same care as if it were to appear in printed
form. As the abstract that must accompany the dissertation will be
published in Dissertation Abstracts, it also must be ready for
publication when it is submitted to the dean.
UMI ProQuest of
Ann Arbor, Michigan, will also preserve the dissertation and publish
the abstract. Information concerning the preparation of the
dissertation and abstract and the agreement with ProQuest that the
candidate must sign are available in the Office of the Graduate School.
The fee for microfilming the dissertation and publishing the abstract
is $55. Registration of copyright also is available for a fee of $65.
