Each student enrolled in the Ph.D. program must have a paper based on their doctoral dissertation accepted for publication in a Q1, Q2, or Q3 journal indexed in either Web of Science or Scopus before appearing before the dissertation committee.
These publication requirements will take effect beginning with the Fall semester of the 2026–2027 academic year. Once the thesis committee has prepared an official record confirming that the publication requirement has been fulfilled, the thesis advisor shall submit it to the Department Chair.
