Research Paper 

The research paper prospectus substitutes for the comprehensive exam and is to be done after all coursework is completed.  

The research paper gives the student the opportunity to apply principles, analysis, and research skills to a topic that has been selected by the student and approved by the department. 

Guidelines are available through the Student Self-Advisory Guide (SSAG) and by working closely with your advisor.
