per week of actual work to be completed.)

A thesis proposal must be attached to this form. The proposal is 2-5 pages long and includes
objectives, relevance to the field, milestones with expected completion dates, and a detailed
description of the work to be accomplished. The inclusion of figures to illustrate ideas is
encouraged. The proposal ensures that both the faculty advisor and student are in mutual
agreement as to the extent and scope of the research work to be completed.
Successful completion of the work in the research proposal, a thesis meeting Graduate College
requirements, and an oral presentation are required in order to obtain a passing grade. Work that
has been completed prior to enrolling for the MS program does not count for credit.
