Thesis II

Catalog description

This course is required for MAISS students who elect to complete a thesis. It provides students an opportunity to conduct research to develop an approved prospectus into a substantive paper that demonstrates insightful analysis of existing or original data in order to advance the current understanding of an intelligence or security studies issue. This course requires individual effort that is overseen by the course instructor, your research mentor. Weekly or bi-weekly meetings, either in person or online, will be held to discuss progress and review submitted documents. Once the research and necessary analysis and results compilation are completed, individual thesis sections will be written and revised iteratively until we both agree that the document is ready for submission to the thesis committee. If the committee agrees, then a defense of the thesis will be held. Upon successful completion of the defense, the manuscript will be revised a final time and once approved, officially submitted for final processing.
