Welcome to the University of Kentucky Libraries' Dissertation Planner!
This dissertation planner is designed to help doctoral students chart the steps to complete a dissertation and earn a doctoral degree. It is most beneficial to those just beginning to lay the groundwork for their dissertations.
Please note: This planner does not contain specific information about your doctoral program. You should always consult with your department about any requirements and expectations as you go through the research and writing processes for your dissertation. Remember, the best resource for information on the specific requirements and expectations of your dissertation is YOUR ADVISOR.
