ED 699 - Thesis in Education

3 or 6 Credit(s)

A thesis is an individually initiated and self-directed experience that involves writing an acceptable proposal, carrying out a research project, and writing a manuscript of professional quality. This option is especially for students who wish to pursue advanced study beyond the master’s level. The student may elect to enroll for 3 or 6 credits in any one semester, but if the former option is elected, the student must enroll for another 3 credits in the following semester (summer session included). A maximum of two calendar years is permitted for the completion of the thesis, with an extension of one year possible by permission of the associate dean of the Center for Education, provided that the student can present evidence of satisfactory progress. When the thesis has been accepted by the Center for Education, a grade of P will be recorded, granting credit for the 3 or 6 semester hours.
Prerequisite(s): 21 semester hours of graduate study, including one graduate course in educational research, and permission of the associate dean of the Center for Education.
