Admission Requirements
Academic Requirements
A Research Paper may be an expanded or improved version of a paper initially written for a course, in which case the criterion for acceptance would be that it demonstrates that the student is capable of independent research. The Research Paper is normally article length (about 25-60 pages, excluding the bibliography). After being accepted by the Graduate Group, the Research Paper is filed in the Department\'s archive. An MA Thesis may also begin within the framework of a course, but it must demonstrate the student\'s research ability and constitute a recognizable contribution to knowledge beyond the simple capacity to do research.\xc2\xa0
