Master's Thesis I

This course involves a scholarly, researched treatment of a topic of interest to the student, guided by an advising professor in tutorial fashion. This process includes attending a seminar to help the student identify research questions, to choose the most effective methods that will support the research objective, to select strategies for logical argumentation and presentation of findings, and to assist in writing a prospectus for the project or thesis. The resulting thesis or project portfolio will typically be from 55-70 pages and must be presented and defended orally.
