Upon completion of the PhD Research Paper, the student schedules an Oral Preliminary Examination, which lays the groundwork for the dissertation.
The third year is devoted to completing required core courses and the dissertation. The dissertation typically consists of the PhD Research Paper and two essays. The dissertation is defended at the Final Oral Examination, which constitutes the final requirement for the Ph.D.
