Dissertation Information
Additional Navigation
The Helms School of Government’s doctoral programs are intended to make you an authority in your chosen field of research.
Each of our doctoral programs (in Criminal Justice, Public Administration, and Public Policy) consists of three main components:
- A core of academic coursework designed to familiarize doctoral scholars with the intellectual foundations of their respective fields;
- A series of methods courses used to prepare doctoral scholars to design and carry out their own original research;
- A sequence of dissertation courses within which doctoral scholars will prepare their Research Concept paper and Dissertation Proposal, conduct their dissertation research and writing, and defend their dissertation.
If you are considering – or already pursuing – one of these degree programs, begin thinking about your dissertation topic, and your desired Chair and Reader, as early and as often as possible. Writing a dissertation is an intensive and extensive project! You will benefit greatly if you are able to begin your coursework with an understanding of how the content and methods you are learning are relevant to your own research interests. It will also help you to be conversing with your faculty about your research interests throughout the program.
Dissertation Requirements
You must have completed CJUS/PADM/PLCY 885: Research Concept before enrolling in CJUS/PADM/PLCY 987 Dissertation I .
In order to begin the dissertation process, the doctoral scholar must complete the “Dissertation Pairing Tool” form. This form requires you to announce your Chair and Reader prior to registering for 885: Research Concept .
Note: The doctoral scholar may complete this form as early as necessary to accommodate specific financial aid plans, but the form must be completed no later than the registration deadline of the term in which the doctoral scholar is to take 885: Research Concept . After the Dissertation Pairing Tool is approved, the doctoral scholar may then complete the “Registration Override (ROVER)” form through Beacon.
Dissertation Courses
There are five courses in the dissertation sequence.
- The candidate will engage a Chair and Reader.
- The candidate will review and distill relevant content from coursework into a preliminary literature review.
- The candidate will develop a preliminary research question and methodology.
- This course is the first step for doctoral candidates in the process of developing and completing their research study and dissertation.
- The candidate will develop the first section of the dissertation, which includes the Foundation of the Study, to include a detailed Literature Review relevant to the proposed research study.
- This course is the second step for doctoral candidates to develop and complete their dissertation.
- The candidate will develop the second section of the dissertation, which includes their methodology for conducting the study.
- The candidate will also complete and submit their IRB package to complete their proposal defense.
- This course is the final step in developing the dissertation manuscript.
- The candidate will conduct the study, analyze data, and state their findings and develop the third section of their dissertation.
- The candidate will combine all three sections into a completed dissertation manuscript in preparation for their dissertation defense.
- This course is the last step in the doctoral program.
- The candidate will defend their dissertation before their Committee.
- The candidate will make any revisions required by the Committee and finalize their dissertation manuscript for publication.
Writing Center
As a doctoral scholar, you are encouraged to take full advantage of the Graduate Writing Center/Online Writing Center when composing your thesis. These centers provide free services, links to writing aids, and valuable assistance that will help take you through the writing process.

Dissertation
Candidacy examination, degree credentials, dissertation committee, dissertation status.
The Dissertation Proposal Defense serves as the Candidacy Examination. The purpose of the Candidacy Examination is to demonstrate an understanding of knowledge in the concentration area that supports the student’s dissertation research. Upon successful completion of required coursework and this examination, the student advances to degree candidacy status.
Students are expected to pass the Candidacy Examination no later than the end of the 3rd semester following Dissertation Seminar unless the student obtains written permission of the Graduate Group in Nursing Chair. Students who do not abide by these policies will no longer be in good academic standing (see “Academic Standing”) which will be reported to funding agencies and the Associate Dean for Academic Programs.
| Examining Committee |
| The preparation of the Candidacy Examination occurs under the guidance of the . The Chair serves as the facilitator of the Candidacy Examination. The Examining Committee includes the members of the plus two readers selected by the Graduate Group in Nursing Chair with recommendations for readers offered by the Dissertation Chair. These two readers must be members of the Graduate Group in Nursing with expertise in the area of study. |
| Format |
| The Candidacy Examination contains a written and an oral component. The student must achieve a passing grade for both the written and oral components to advance to degree candidacy status. In the written Candidacy Examination, the student discusses the problem to be studied, the relevant literature, and the methodology to be used in the dissertation research (see below in the section for a discussion of possible dissertation formats). For the oral portion of the Candidacy Examination, which is two hours in length, the student provides an oral presentation of the dissertation proposal and responds to questions by the Examining Committee. |
| Evaluation |
| The written and oral proposal defense is graded on a “Pass” or “Fail” basis. If the student receives a failing grade for either of the two components (written or oral components), the student fails the defense. If the student fails the defense, s/he may repeat the defense of the proposal (both oral and written components) one time within the next 60 days. Students who fail the Candidacy Examination twice may be withdrawn from the School of Nursing. |
| Procedure |
| in advance of the potential exam date. for potential date(s) and time(s) for the oral defense portion of the Candidacy Examination. The oral Candidacy Examination is scheduled for two hours. for a suggested email template). . It is recommended that the student schedule the room for the required two hours plus 15 minutes prep time and at least 15 minutes post-exam time in case additional discussion is needed. Once the student receives a confirmation email from the Facilities Office, the student should confirm the date, time, and room of the exam with the committee, with a copy to the Director of Advising and Student Affairs, who will note it for official records. before the exam date. to the examination for committee signatures, and then return the form to the Office of Student Services. |
Degree credentials (e.g., AD, BS, BSN, MS, MSN, PhD, EdD, DNP) are commonly used and indicate completion of a particular educational program. The highest degree attained is usually placed immediately after the last name. All or some of degrees can be used.
Terms used to indicate partial completion of a degree or student status such as “SNP” (student nurse practitioner), “PhDc” (PhD candidate) or “ABD” (all but dissertation) are fabricated terms and are not to be used.
The Dissertation Committee oversees and approves the research proposal, and ultimately, the dissertation.
| Dissertation Chair |
| Having selected an area of research, the student identifies a Chair of the Dissertation Committee. The Chair must be a member of the Standing Faculty of the School of Nursing. The individual may or may not have been the student’s advisor. There is no duty to invite the advisor to chair the dissertation committee. Per the : If the Chair leaves the Standing Faculty in Nursing or retires before the dissertation is completed, then a new chair from the Standing Faculty must be appointed Chair. If a faculty member retires from the Standing Faculty, s/he may remain as the primary dissertation advisor but a new Chair must be appointed from the Standing Faculty. |
| Dissertation Committee Members |
| The student, in consultation with the Chair, selects two other members of the Dissertation Committee, at least one of whom is a member of the Graduate Group in Nursing. The third individual may be a faculty member at or outside of the University of Pennsylvania with approval from the Graduate Group in Nursing Chair. For members outside the University of Pennsylvania, the individual’s CV and a rationale for membership on the committee should be emailed to the Graduate Group in Nursing Chair for information, with a copy to the Director of Advising and Student Affairs. In some cases, the student may have a committee of more than three individuals. Members of the Dissertation Committee are expected to have an earned Research Doctorate (PhD). Exceptions may be made for committee members with a non-Research Doctorate (for example, MD or DNP) if they are members of a University of Pennsylvania Graduate Group or demonstrate other evidence of participation in research-intensive roles. The Dissertation Chair will be responsible for making this decision and must notify the Graduate Group in Nursing Chair. |
| Procedure |
| To make the committee official, the student must submit a with committee signatures to the Office of Student Services for review by the Graduate Group in Nursing Chair. |
Following Dissertation Seminar, the student will be registered for dissertation status. Registration is done by the Office of Student Information and is required in each succeeding semester until all degree requirements are met. A student on Dissertation Status who wishes to take additional coursework may do so with approval of the academic advisor and Graduate Group in Nursing Chair depending on available funding for tuition. While supported by School of Nursing or federal funding, students may only take coursework that is directly related to their dissertation question.
The preparation of the dissertation constitutes the final phase of the PhD program. The dissertation should demonstrate a high-level of analytical and research competence and represent an original contribution to the field of nursing science. It is expected that the formation of a topic will begin in the early phases of study in the program and grow out of experience and work in the focused area of science and scholarship. It is also expected that the dissertation topic will build on the research and expertise of two or more members of the Graduate Group in Nursing.
Dissertation Format
Generally, three dissertation formats are appropriate. The best option depends on the type of research planned. Each format is described in the table below, with an explanation of the nature and scope of work for the dissertation proposal. Note that all three formats are potentially suitable for qualitative and mixed-methods research; students pursuing a qualitative or mixed-methods project should consult with the Chair and the Dissertation Committee to determine the most appropriate format for the student’s specific study. The dissertation format must be approved by the student’s Dissertation Committee. Additional formats may be suggested as nursing science continues to evolve; formats of dissertations (and proposals) that are not addressed below will be considered. In this case, the Dissertation Chair and student will review their recommended format with the Graduate Group in Nursing Chair.
University of Pennsylvania policy permits dissertations based on joint work with other researchers, provided that, in such cases, a unique and separate dissertation is presented by each degree candidate. The candidate must include a concise account of his or her contribution to the whole work. Authorship of a dissertation by more than one degree candidate is not allowed.
Dissertation Formats
| Chapter 1: Introduction and Specific Aims | Chapters 1-3
| |
| Chapter 1: Introduction to the body of work Additional information about the format and requirements of this format are described below. | Chapter 1, plus a summary of the aims, background, and methods/approach for each article.
| |
| Integrated analysis and data-based narrative of a set of historical, qualitative, or ethnographic questions that provide the basis for a book manuscript or a series of manuscripts. | Presentation of a narrative that establishes the background context, significance, and possible primary and secondary sources (which may include archival sources, oral histories, or possible interview subjects or texts used in ethnographic or other qualitative research) that the student will use to address the questions during the dissertation research. |
* NOTE: The proposal for a five-chapter or three-article dissertation may use the NIH PHS398 subheadings (Specific Aims, Background and Significance, Innovation, and Approach) provided that the background and significance are presented in sufficient depth to demonstrate thorough mastery of the relevant literature. PHS398 page limits do not apply; proposals using the PHS398 subheadings will likely be longer than 10-15 single-spaced pages. An NRSA proposal is not an acceptable dissertation proposal. If using the PHS398 subheadings for the dissertation proposal, the student should negotiate the appropriate scope of the Background and Significance section in advance with the Chair and Committee. An underdeveloped background and significance section may be grounds for failing the Candidacy Exam.
The three manuscripts option may include manuscripts that are published during the course of the doctoral program; see the “Use of Copyrighted, Previously Published, or Coauthored Material” section of the University’s Doctoral Dissertation Manual for details.
Requirements and Format of the Three Article Dissertation
The Graduate Group allows students who publish papers during their doctoral program to use these papers as part of their dissertation. Following are the requirements and format for the Three Article dissertation option:
| Requirements |
| ). With agreement of the committee, planned content of the papers may change based upon findings from the dissertation or other factors. Publication titles, authorship and other details should be finalized for each publication when an initial draft of the dissertation is submitted by the student as evidence of readiness for graduation (see Form B - ). . |
| Format |
Dissertation Defense
When the written dissertation is completed to the satisfaction of the dissertation committee, an oral defense with public and closed components will be scheduled for two hours. The examining committee for the dissertation consists of the dissertation committee and two readers from the Graduate Group in Nursing who are appointed by the Graduate Group in Nursing Chair. All members of the Graduate Group and doctoral students as well as other individuals whose presence is desired by the student are invited to the public component. The public component consists of a brief presentation of the findings and their implications by the student followed by a brief question and answer by individuals who are not members of the examining committee. The following component may be either open or closed depending on the preference of the Dissertation Chair. In this portion, guests may be excused while questioning and discussion by the readers, the dissertation committee members, and the student occur. The dissertation defense is graded on a Pass/Fail basis with the majority of the five examiners necessary for a decision.
At least three members of the dissertation committee must participate in the defense. Defense may take place in person or remotely.

Plastics have become indispensable in our modern world, serving diverse purposes from packaging to electronics. However, the pervasive issue of plastic pollution, with microplastics now ubiquitous across the globe, poses serious threats to both environmental and human health. Despite this, conventional recycling methods often fall short due to cost constraints and technical challenges, necessitating a shift towards innovative, eco-friendly polymer solutions.
This thesis delves into a vast chemical landscape, spanning hundreds of millions of commercially available and theoretical monomers–a number impossible to explore experimentally–in pursuit of novel polymers capable of addressing the shortcomings of traditional plastics. Employing digital reaction pathways, advanced genetic algorithms, and cutting-edge machine learning models, we aim to identify polymers that not only meet stringent recycling criteria but also possess the mechanical and thermal properties requisite for practical application.
Our exploration extends to predicting polymer solubility, streamlining experimental data analysis, and leveraging machine learning algorithms to assess monomer toxicity, thus refining the selection process. By navigating this intricate hypothetical polymer design space, we strive to provide insight to our polymer chemist collaborators, assisting them in uncovering the elusive "needle in a haystack" polymer that could revolutionize the plastics industry and mitigate the global burden of plastic pollution.
