All good until several dissertation supervisors dismissed I was delighted with the DMA program, and all was well until a new Music Ed Department Chair came on board. Faculty left in droves. My excellent dissertation supervisor was dismissed "due to contractual issues". Doctoral candidates were not warned that a new, micromanaging contract was being prepared for all advisors, regardless of what stage their advisees were in, and that some advisors would refuse to sign it. My dissertation was finished and awaiting the selection of a committee for reading. Rather than switching policies near the end of the older cohort's program, I believe the new dept. chair should have initiated the changes for the newest cohort and let the prior ones finish according to the initial agreement. I have been without a dissertation supervisor for over 2 months, a time period I had planned to use to work on rewrites with my committee. No end in sight, either. Beware! Write your dissertation quickly, and get out well before your 7 years are up.
