I have already completed a thesis or research project for another masters degree. Do I still need to take Libr 285?
A. If a student has taken and passed a graduate level-research methods course AND completed a thesis or dissertation as part of a previous graduate degree (as documented by an official transcript), the student can petition the Coordinator of Admissions and Academic Advising to waive the LIBR 285 requirement. A waiver, if granted, does not reduce the total units required for the MLIS degree. Please send an electronic copy of the transcript (scanned as a PDF file) to the Coordinator of Admissions and Academic Advising. See the course description for LIBR 285. • Q.

Please note: The transcript must reflect a thesis (a thesis will have research questions and/or a hypothesis that show(s) a piece of original research as supported via a literature review. This excludes a final project or final paper — it must be a graduate level research thesis). A waiver, if granted, does not reduce the total units required for the MLIS degree.
