Each master's thesis option and doctoral candidate must prepare an electronic thesis, dissertation or record of study (ETD). As part of the Office of Graduate Studies, the Thesis Office is available to help you through this process.
We provide advice and handouts during the writing process, and we publish the Thesis Manual, which includes rules for format. We also hold an extensive pre-submittal review as you prepare to defend and format the final version of your document. After the manuscript is submitted electronically, we review your document for university formatting standards.
