Graduate StudiesThe following procedures are offered as general guidelines only.
Students are solely responsible for ensuring that their work adheres to the content and formatting rules. Students are warned to avoid plagiarism and other forms of academic dishonesty.
Please contact the Graduate Studies office for general questions regarding the process of completing your master's thesis/project. Library thesis reviewers are available to answer questions concerning citations and formatting.
The Writing Center is a good resource for help with the writing process.
The research involved in your thesis or project may be subject to regulatory review before you begin to conduct it. If you will be collecting data directly from people (not using archived data), then you must familiarize yourself with the human subjects protections process and the Institutional Review Board (IRB). If you are investigating with vertebrate animals, seek assistance from the Animal Care and Use Committee (ACUC). If you are working with potential biological hazards, contact the Environmental Health and Safety Office (EH&S).
