Prerequisite(s): Student must complete a Thesis Prospectus the semester prior to enrollment in PSYC 6983. The Thesis Prospectus must be approved by all committee members.
The primary goal of PSYC 6983 is the completion of a graduate committee-approved thesis research proposal. Failure during the first semester of enrollment in PSYC 6983 to complete the proposal, submit it to the graduate committee, and obtain committee approval to pursue the thesis research in PSYC 6993 will make the student ineligible to enroll in PSYC 6993. Under these circumstances, no credits will be granted for PSYC 6983 and the transcript grade will remain “X” which will not influence the student’s graduate GPA. Exceptions to this rule must be approved by the Department Chair.
