CHAPTER 1

Title

Typically, Chapter 1 is where you introduce the problem and its background. Per the Title 5 Education Code, this is where you might “clearly identify the problem, state the major assumptions, [and] explain the significance of the undertaking.” Consult with your committee when crafting the introductory chapter of your thesis. It is likely that you will want to simply title Chapter 1, Introduction.
