Thesis and Project Guide

The Thesis and Project Guide provides detailed instructions on all the steps in the preparation and submission of a master's thesis or project, from the initial selection of a faculty committee to the final approval process. It describes the various sections of a thesis or project and gives step-by-step formatting instructions for the final manuscript. 

The Thesis and Project Guide is currently available for viewing in the University Library and for purchase in the University Bookstore. We have also made the Guide available at this website as a Word (Word Document554k) and PDF (PDF Document613k) document.  Please review the Instructions for Inserting Page Numbers (15k).

It is highly suggested that all students purchase the Guide and thoroughly read it before embarking on a thesis or project.
