The Thesis program is a rigorous, two-semester sequence that enables a select group of students to produce a substantive, publishable piece of original research or policy analysis. Designed for those seeking to strengthen their analytical, methodological, and writing skills, the program culminates in a thesis of at least 35 pages that may take the form of an academic journal article, a policy essay for a broader audience, or a research report suitable for a think tank. A small cohort is admitted each year, combining structured seminars with individualized faculty mentorship to guide students from proposal development through the completion and defense of their final thesis.
The spring writing seminar centers on independent research and writing, with students meeting regularly with the instructor and Faculty-Resource Person and concluding with a final oral defense. Together, the two courses offer an intensive, mentored pathway for students aiming to bridge scholarly research and practical policy application.
