thesis and thesis projects

Each student completes a thesis or thesis project based on original research. Students work with faculty to chose an area of interest and narrow it into a thesis topic by the beginning of their second semester. Projects involve a similar amount of research, but result in a different end product, such as an exhibition script, a museum plan, or an interpretive program.


Throughout the course of two semesters, students write a draft proposal; conduct research; submit a final proposal, chapter summary or outline, and a working bibliography; and submit drafts to first and second readers.
