Master's Thesis Research – MSBS 5000Q

A master's thesis is 5 credits, must be laboratory (not library) based and must be hypothesis driven. The thesis is usually done over one or two semesters or a summer and a semester. Conclusion of the research is based on testing the hypothesis but not necessarily on proving the hypothesis (unlike a doctoral thesis). The mentor's lab is given $1,000 to help defray the costs of the research for each student completing a master's thesis. Please click here for more information. In addition, students are recommended to refer to the Student Handbook for the most up-to-date information.
