Final Paper
All programs require a final paper, a work of substance and length requiring research that draws together the ideas developed in the course of a candidate's interdisciplinary studies. Candidates should start thinking about their topic early in the program. Further course and research work will develop, improve, and probably alter the original concept by the end of the program. The final paper may be written as a supervised tutorial or as part of a seminar. A written proposal is submitted to two professors from different departments who must approve the topic and agree to serve as readers before the project can begin. The proposal-about 1,000 words long-should contain a statement of the problem, the nature of the resources to be used, plans for analysis, a bibliography, and a timetable for the project's completion. Proposals may be altered as required during the process. Proposal/essay guidelines are available from the Liberal Studies M.A. Office. Once the essay is completed and approved by the two readers, a copy is deposited in the Liberal Studies M.A. Office. Students wishing to complete the final paper in the autumn term must submit approved proposals to the Liberal Studies M.A. Office by August 15; those wishing to complete the paper in the spring term must submit the proposal by November 15.
