Note

The student will continuously register in Fall and Spring terms for ECON 797 (Thesis Guidance) until the Master’s Thesis is completed and submitted to the School of Graduate Studies for review.  The course is used only when the curriculum has been completed, and the student is completing the research and writing of the thesis. The course registration maintains the student status as a matriculated, full-time student (student registers for 3 credit hours each semester, but is acknowledged as having a 9 credit hour load).  After the Intent to Defend the Master’s Thesis form has been accepted by the School of Graduate Studies, this course registration will be changed to ECON 799 (Thesis Defense) for the given semester and count for 3 credit hours of curricular coursework (ECON 799 will also count for 9 credit hours of load).  Other courses cannot be substituted for ECON 797 (Thesis Guidance). The only eligible grade for ECON 797 (Thesis Guidance) is the grade of “S” and the only acceptable grade for ECON 799 (Thesis Defense) is “P/F” (Pass/Fail).
