Application Instructions

Thesis

A research degree involves diving deep into a specific topic within your area of interest and completing and defending an master’s thesis or doctoral dissertation. A match of research interests between the student and potential advisor is crucial. Students work one-on-one with a faculty member on a research project, which may offer grant funding in the form of a research assistantship. Admission decisions are subject to advisor availability and research match in addition to the applicant’s academic qualifications.
