I think they just weigh them. Lord knows my committee didn't read it.

I had to write a 60 page paper to get a BS...a doctoral dissertation better be at least 200 pages.

My wife completed chapter four today and it is 95 pages long. She says the average dissertation is about 200 pages with all chapters. How long was yours? Above average

It's somewhat field dependent. I haven't finished (or started, really) my dissertation but mine will likely end up in the 160pg ballpark.

In the sciences they tend to be shorter. When I was getting mine bound, the binder had piles of theses that clearly had 4 to 5 times more pages than mine. I asked and she said "those are from a history student, history theses are always 1000 pages" Quote HistoryQuoted:

Yes, it's field dependent. Friend of mine did one that was 26 pages at a top-10 school (theoretical mathematics). |

Mine was about 180 pages.
That included a lot of graphs, diagrams, etc. This was a paper on reaction kinetics within the porous electrodes of high-temperature ceramic fuel cells. Edit: My advisory committee recommended that a dissertation in my field (electrochemistry/material science) usually consisted of at least three journal articles written by the candidate and published in peer-reviewed journals. So I took my three journal articles, tacked them together with a few pages explaining the overall goal, and that was pretty much it. |

My grad school does 5-6 student capstone groups instead of masters thesis. Advisor says >400 pages, chair says <200 pages.

Some Committees don't read them...that's for sure.
I read someone's dissertation to extract data for some research I was doing. It was chock full of spelling and logic mistakes. The committee recommended acceptance anyway...might have had something to do with the fact she worked in a Governor's office. |

It really depends on the academic discipline. Mine was about 350 pages. A friend of mine had one that was over 1,000 pages excluding the bibliography. I know someone in the sciences who wrote under 100 pages but that was at the end of 6 years of research.

I have an MFA, terminal degree in fine arts.
No dissertation. Instead I was locked in the gallery with my committee and my artwork while they takes me over the coals for hours. And this was on the heels of one of my committee members telling me I worked at a level above anything they could teach me. In essence it was an oral exam. There is no PhD in Painting/Drawing. |

Some committees read them, some don't. It's dependent on the rank of the school (mostly). Some guy at a low ranked school cited me in his dissertation. I think it was some place similar to Capella. But in the citation he claimed something completely unrelated to my work and he apparently got by with it. These places online where students can purchase term papers from someone in India... You can buy dissertations from them too. This stuff is easy to check if someone would just take 5 minutes to do so, and we had students in my program kicked out for less. It's just that kicking people out of for-profit schools is bad for business. Of course this is why for-profits are not taken seriously in academia. But it's also why such PhDs should be viewed with suspicion outside academia.

Mine was under 100. Lots of equations, lots of tables. Because I was being paid by the word, I didn't make much on my dissertation.
