A thesis or dissertation is the culmination of a research project and a professional representation of not only the student's work, but the advisor, program, and Michigan Tech.
Master's students in Plan A submit a thesis and all doctoral students submit a dissertation to the Graduate School in partial fulfillment of a graduate degree. Master's students in Plan B submit a report describing the results of an independent study project.
It is important that all theses, reports, and dissertations are prepared professionally in order to best reflect the quality and intellectual merit of the work. These requirements, procedures, and resources will assist you as you complete these documents.
