Doctoral Project Pr�cis
The second step in the process is the preparation of the Doctoral Project Precis in which the
student briefly outlines her/his research project. The purpose of the Pr�cis is to assist the student
in the articulation and clarification of the research question(s) and the research methodology. The
student must engage in a thorough review of the literature associated with the identified area of
interest (do not use articles and books older than 5 years). The Pr�cis is to be in written form and is generally no longer than 5-7 pages (APA style) in length (plus references).
Doctoral Project Proposal
The Proposal or Prospectus is the next step in the process and must be successfully completed
and approved prior to beginning work on the Doctoral Project. The Proposal is essentially a
comprehensive description of the doctoral project. The purpose of the Proposal is threefold:
1. to provide a solid foundation for the doctoral project,
2. to demonstrate that the project has been thoroughly considered and is meaningful, and
3. to demonstrate the student’s growing expertise in the identified area.
The Proposal is a time consuming piece of scholarship that will be rigorously evaluated by the
doctoral project committee, whose approval must be granted prior to beginning work on the
proposed project. Generally, the proposal is 30-50 double-spaced pages (APA format) plus
appendices, references and a draft of the IRB proposal if necessary. The proposal includes the
