COMM 5993 - Thesis

3 Hours. Students should determine the topic in association with a faculty advisor. Students choosing the thesis option should select a graduate faculty advisor prior to enrolling in thesis coursework. With that advisor, they should select two additional committee members, and develop a written proposal for the thesis. They should present a thesis proposal to the committee as soon as possible thereafter. The proposal should be designed realistically so that the thesis can be completed by Master’s students during their final planned semester in residence. After the thesis has been read by the student’s committee, a final oral examination will be conducted in conformity with the rules of the Graduate School. The thesis must comply with the format rules of the Graduate School and be approved by the Dean of the Graduate College.
