EDUC 792 - Masters Thesis or Master Synthesis Project

The 01 section of the final thesis and synthesis courses (EDUC 792 and EDUC 797) are for independent work with the student’s chair. This means there are no meetings and the course does not count toward a faculty member’s workload. The instructor of record is usually the Associate Dean who checks with each of the students’ chairs and then submits a grade (or an Incomplete) at the end of the term. The 01 section is the section that gives students the full 3 units of coursework required for the master’s degree and they pay the full 3 unit tuition for that course. They only take it once. Then they register for the in progress (IP) sections which are under each faculty chair. The IP courses carry an in-progress (not tuition). They must register for an IP course each long term until they finish their thesis or synthesis.
