Graduate Thesis or Dissertation

Theses and dissertations represent the student author’s research or study or an extended analysis of a topic completed under the supervision of faculty at their institution as part of the requirements for a Masters degree (thesis) or Doctorate (dissertation), as set forth by the university or faculty committee.

However, the structure and contents of the treatise is ultimately subject to the requirements and formal approval of a Thesis or Dissertation Committee.  Theses or dissertations should be submitted with a letter from the University or appropriate committee chairperson that the treatise has been approved.
