PHI 690 Thesis Research
In this course students do research in preparation to write their Master’s thesis in Philosophy. Each student selects a topic, asks a Philosophy faculty member who approves the topic to direct their thesis, and forms a thesis committee composed of Humanities faculty. Students also compile a list of 12-15 books and/or scholarly articles on their topics. Style format appropriate to the discipline is also covered. This course should be taken during the semester before students plan to write their theses. A plan or outline for the thesis is prepared. Students may also begin to write a draft of their thesis.
