Graduate Project

9 credits · Graduate

The Graduate Project is a requirement for students choosing the MA Project Option. Students prepare a 12,000 - 15,000 word research paper, under the direction of a supervisor from Political Science. The project contains a thorough review of the existing literature, a detailed bibliography, and demonstrates clear evidence of critical thinking. A project proposal, and the final research paper, are assessed by a graduate committee, comprising the supervisor, one other member from Political Science, and one member from outside the program. This is a PASS/FAIL course.
