If I have already planned to take the Masters Thesis route, how do I plan and organize the process leading to Thesis oral defense?
(NOTE) With effect from Fall 2007, the Economics Department has discontinued supporting Masters’ thesis. A student must allow at least two semesters to start and complete the Masters Thesis. The student must decide his/her Thesis oral defense committee as early as in the second semester of his/her enrollment into the MA program. The Masters Thesis committee will consist of a chairperson and two other faculty members. The committee members must be either tenured or tenure track faculty. It is the students’ responsibility to have the Chair and the committee members agree to serve on the Masters Thesis committee. It is the student’s responsibility to schedule the Masters Thesis oral defense on a date agreeable to all the committee members. Normally, the Masters Thesis oral defense is scheduled at the end of the final semester of the student’s enrollment.
