| 898: THESIS
The thesis is a written product of an original study that demonstrates
clarity of purpose, critical and independent thinking with accurate
and thorough documentation. In most cases, an oral defense is
required. A Thesis Guidelines manual is available from Rapid
Copy or it may be downloaded at www.sfsu.edu/~gradstdy/current-form.htm.
You must bring the completed thesis to The Division of Graduate Studies for format review.
The Graduate Studies office
will issue a receipt to be certified at the Rapid Copy Center at the Library upon
submission of the document and payment of the binding fee.
This proposal form must be completed online and printed for signatures.
No handwritten proposals will be accepted.
Please be sure to include the department, name, and rank of
your faculty member (professor, associate professor, assistant
professor or lecturer). If you do not know the rank, ask your
department office staff or the instructor.
Complete the “Description” section carefully so that your intentions
are clear, especially if you plan to use human or animal subjects
(see information on Human or Animal Subjects). Do not
attach a copy of your research or project proposal that you
may have completed for a research class. The proposal
you write for a research class may be different from a human
or animal subjects protocol that is required if you plan to
use human or animal subjects (Some instructors have students
prepare proposal in protocol format).
Please note: You must have an approved Graduate Approved
Program (GAP) and an approved Proposal for Culminating Experience
on file with the Division of Graduate Studies in order to register
for your Culminating Experience course.
