Abstract

The dissertation is the pinnacle of a doctoral student’s educational experience. We explore the history of dissertations; the dissertation process within counselor education; and three dissertation styles (traditional, companion, manuscript). Additionally, we provide a model of one institution’s manuscript style dissertation. Implications and recommendations for future research are also discussed.
