CSCI-699 : Thesis

The thesis option provides the student the opportunity to conduct original research and to report this in a scholarly manuscript. This option is especially well suited to a student who plans on pursuing a PhD degree. Students who select this option must choose a major professor to act as the chair of their thesis committee and two additional committee members. Before beginning work on a thesis, a student must present a proposal to their committee for approval. The committee will direct and supervise the work carried out by the student. The student is bound by the Graduate School rules and regulations for thesis defense.
