Thesis Research

1 Unit · Graduate

Instead of the Capstone class, students may elect to complete a thesis. This final project is meant to represent the culmination of students’ experience in the program and must demonstrate mastery of the curriculum and the ability to conduct sustained independent research and analysis. The project may be applied or may be a traditional scholarly paper; in both cases a manuscript following program-specific guidelines is required. Students must submit a proposal and secure a first reader to register for the thesis course; for further details, students are advised to review the student handbook and contact their academic advisor.
