As a culminating activity in the program, students are required to submit a paper which demonstrates the student’s ability to conduct independent scholarly research of high quality. This paper must be new research (i.e., different from prior MA-level work) conducted under supervision of the program’s faculty.
Following specific guidelines set by the graduate faculty for use in the MA in SLS Plan B program, the candidate’s Scholarly Paper will be read by a committee of two graduate faculty members.
