Grad Portfolio: Choosing Committee Members

You will choose 3 faculty members to represent 3 fields of specialization.  In addition to field examiners, students must include one or two additional readers – either from within Romance Studies or from another department – who will read the Portfolio Exam materials and participate in the oral examination.

In order to stay within the graduate school guidelines, the minimum number of committee members is four.  Three of these committee members must be faculty of Romance Studies &/or a joint appointment in Romance Studies and one faculty member may be from outside the department and will be representing your minor area.  Consult the Chair of your committee and the DGS regarding any questions or concerns regarding the composition of the committee.

As soon as you have confirmed your committee members, send their names to the DGSA.  If you have any subsequent changes to the committee, please immediately notify the DGSA.
