Master’s Thesis Plan Information

Work closely with your department to determine the minimum and maximum thesis credit hour requirement for your degree.

The form should be submitted as early as possible in a student’s career, and at the latest should submit it by the deadline to apply to graduate for the semester in which the student plans to earn the degree. DeadlinesÌý²¹²Ô»åÌýthesis information can be found on the Graduate School’s website.
