IP 595 Thesis Option


Designed especially for students who wish to pursue advanced study beyond the master’s level, the Thesis option is a 2 semester independent study working with an advisor to conduct substantive research and writing. It is an individually initiated and directed set of experiences involving the writing of an acceptable proposal, the carrying out of a research project and the writing of a manuscript of professional quality. A thesis should be an original and independent contribution to current scholarship on a particular topic. The length of thesis may range from 60-100 pages and must include a substantial bibliography.

Students must obtain approval from the IPCR Director and an advisor to conduct a thesis by the end of their first full year in the program. Thesis students register for IP595 for two terms.
