Writing or producing a thesis is an opportunity to crystallize, display,
and extend ideas and skills that you have acquired in the program. The
thesis project should be a synthesis of a student's accumulated knowledge. A thesis often serves as a foundation for ongoing creative work or a
basis for an article or articles to be submitted for publication. It is
evidence of serious scholarship and/or professional production skills when
applying for PhD programs or professional employment.
The School of Media Studies holds a thesis information session each spring and fall
semester.
The next information session, scheduled for fall 2012, will be announced shortly.
New students are
encouraged to attend to get help in deciding between the thesis and the non-thesis
track. If you have selected the thesis track and have already completed or expect to complete 27 credits this semester, you should definitely attend and plan on submitting your thesis proposal this semester.
If you have questions about submitting a thesis proposal and/or registering for thesis course numbers, contact mediathesisadvising@newschool.edu.
