We encourage students to finish the LRSP doctoral major in 4 years. To do so, students should be aware of program requirements, the advising program, as well as the process by which one completes the degree. The materials here make up the LRSP Advising Handbook and may be read here and downloaded as PDF documents. The Advising Checklist, in particular, is a document that students will use repeatedly as they meet with advisors and advising committees.
