BMMSG 690: Research Thesis

The thesis is the culmination of the program. It describes the objective, research question, and design of the project; data analysis; and conclusions based on the information gathered. The student’s Research Committee approves the proposal, oversees the research project, and approves the final research thesis and oral defense. Credits taken each quarter will depend on the research project, laboratory research, elective courses, and credits needed to retain full time status. A minimum of 4 credit hours is required for the degree. Laboratory Research credits may substitute for Research Thesis credit requirement.
