Required Thesis:
All students must write a thesis to fulfill the requirements of the degree. Thesis topics may evolve from participation in a graduate seminar or from an internship experience and should be an examination of a publishing topic that has been of particular interest to the student.
Note, too, that any student who has completed all coursework (core and elective) and is solely working on the required thesis must register for Maintenance of Matriculation each semester until graduation.
