Doctoral Student's Comprehensive Guide to Finishing the Degree (CG)

For doctoral students who are in the humanities or social sciences, or who have an interdisciplinary focus

The Comprehensive Guide (CG) is an optional tool for you to use with your advisor to set goals for your academic and professional development during your doctoral studies.

You can see the Individual Writing Plan for all years in three different formats:

• CG (all years) as Web page
• CG (all years) as Word document
• CG (all years) as .pdf-- Requires a .pdf reader such as Adobe Reader

We hope you'll visit the CG often as you make progress toward your degree. We'll be adding information and ideas as we go along.
