Students opting to do integrative projects must submit a brief (two-page) proposal describing the project to their advisor for approval as soon as they have decided on a project idea.  An approved proposal, signed by the advisor, must be filled with the program coordinator at least one full semester before enrollment in the integrative project seminar. 

Research course requirements for thesis option: Students electing to write a thesis must take at least one three-credit course or the equivalent in the research methodology they plan to use in conducting their study.
