Written approval from the board/committee/official must be included as an appendix to the dissertation. The use of Guidelines for the Preparation of Theses, Projects, and Dissertations is required. This publication is available for downloading at wmich.edu/grad/current-students/. A doctoral dissertation varies in credit from a minimum of 12 credit hours to a maximum of 24 credit hours. The hours required in a program of study are determined by the student’s department; a department may require all students within the program to register for a specific, common total of hours between 12 and 24, or a program may require different students within the program to register for a variety of total hours between 12 and 24.
