These three committee members will work with the student throughout the project. Once the student is allowed to register for RES 9350 – Doctoral Project I, a project proposal is written and submitted to the project chair for review and approval. The proposal will be in the Apollos University format and the two committee members will review and make comments back to the student and the project chair. The student will proceed through the project as they take the RES 9360, RES 9370, and RES 9371 courses.
