Master's Degree Policies

Thesis Programs

The master's thesis should be evidence of the graduate student's ability to carry out independent investigation and to present the results in clear and systematic form. Two copies of the thesis must be submitted to the Graduate School by the end of the quarter in which degree requirements are completed or by the deadline specified in the Graduate Registration Waiver Fee. The faculty in the graduate program may require that the student present an additional copy for its own use. The Graduate School publishes a Policy and Style Manual for Theses and Dissertations, which outlines format requirements. This manual should be read thoroughly before the student begins writing the thesis. The thesis must meet all format requirements before being accepted by the Graduate School. A thesis adviser is available in the Graduate School for consultation during the thesis preparation process.

A $25 binding fee is payable at 129 Schmitz before the thesis is submitted to the Graduate School.
