Engagement

Students are required to develop a plan for their Engagement credits with their committee by the end of year one. Engagement credits include fieldwork and thesis/project credits.

EAH XXX. Fieldwork (up to 8 credits)
EAH XXX. Thesis/Project (up to 8 credits)

All students will be required to make a final thesis or project presentation and defend the work to the student’s committee. Students must submit a draft of their thesis or project to their committee for review six weeks prior to their presentation and oral examination.

Thesis Options: Students can develop a written thesis of appropriate length and format as agreed upon by their committee. Theses can include, but are not limited to 1) a sustained argument broken into closely related chapters or sections, or 2) a number of articles (e.g., magazine articles, scholarly articles) that develop arguments on distinct but related topics with a framing introduction that addresses their relationship.

Project Option: Student’s projects can take any form with the approval of the student’s committee. Examples include developing a community program, making a documentary film, and creating multi-media or art exhibits.
