What is involved in writing a thesis/project proposal?
Once you have identified a thesis/project adviser, you will work with that faculty member to develop a thesis/project proposal. You can obtain a copy of the proposal guidelines from the American Studies office. This form explains what information you will need to submit for each kind of proposal. When is the thesis/project proposal due? The proposal should be submitted to the American Studies office as early in the term as possible. For a thesis: by September 15th; for a project: by October 1st or February 1st. Be sure to retain a copy for your own records. When is the completed project/thesis due? A project is due at the end of the term in which it was begun. A final draft of the thesis is due by April 15th. (The final version of the thesis must be graded and deposited by the first week of May.) Other deadlines are provisional and should be worked out between you and your adviser. These deadlines will help both of you to monitor your progress. Do I need a second reader for a thesis? Y
