A thesis option is available to students who wish to pursue an extended independent project. A written proposal for a thesis must be submitted to the program director no later than the fifth week of the quarter preceding the quarter in which the student intends to begin work on the thesis. A student proposing a thesis must also procure an advisor from among the M.A. in Writing faculty to supervise and evaluate the thesis. A maximum of four quarter hours of MWR 501, Thesis Research, may, with permission from the program director, be applied to the 48 quarter hours required for the degree, but students may, with permission from the program director, begin their thesis research by registering for MWR 500, Independent Study.
