学生 have two options for their culminating experience in the program: the master's thesis option or the master's Capstone option.

The master's thesis option is designed to give students experience designing and conducting empirical research. This option is strongly recommended to students planning to pursue doctoral work. 学生 must take a total of six credit hours of 695年英格 毕业前. Preparing a thesis is a multistage process that involves the following (see M.A.-A.L. program materials for more detail):

If you wish to select a faculty member from outside of the program as chair, you should consult with the program director for prior approval. The outside committee member must have relevant expertise in the thesis topic.
- Writing a Prospectus: You will write a prospectus for your proposed thesis project.
- Holding a Prospectus Meeting: After your chair approves your prospectus, you will share it with the committee, 在召开会议之前, 你会得到反馈. If the prospectus is approved, you begin research; if not, you will need to revise and resubmit.
- 研究 & Writing: You will research, write, and revise the thesis, under your chair's supervision.

No further oral defense is necessary, unless the committee votes no on the final thesis, in which case the student has the option of writing a new thesis or dropping the program.
