Typically for the MA the committee will comprise of the primary advisor and 1 faculty member from the area. The creation of the advisory committee is the responsibility of the student’s primary advisor. After the committee is formed, it is recommended that the student, their Advisor, and the committee member(s) meet to discuss the expectations for that particular committee (e.g., does committee plan to have regular meetings, when does the student expect to have a proposal meeting, when does the student expect to have a finalized proposal).
