Workshop courses are those specifically designated as such in this catalog or by the Graduate Council. Graduate students may register for 700-level or lower courses but these courses do not apply toward the requirements of a graduate degree. Although the grade received and quarter hours for such courses appear on the student's record, the hours and quality points are not included in the student's cumulative totals. Seminar A seminar is generally considered to consist of a group of advanced students studying a subject under a professor, each making some pertinent contribution and all exchanging results through informal lectures, reports, and discussions. Thesis Certain programs accept or require a thesis as partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree.
Students follow the style manual used by the field as determined by the department.
The deadline to submit theses is the first day of final examinations of the graduating quarter. Additional thesis presentation information is available from the School of Graduate Studies and individual departments.
