Graduate Thesis Projects
MSAT students must complete a master's thesis research project before graduating. Students, either individually or in small groups, are closely mentored by their faculty thesis chair to develop and conduct research studies.
Research Methods I (MSAT 6080) provides a foundation of research concepts. Research Methods II and III (MSAT 6085 and 6090) are used to develop the project, collect and analyze the data, and prepare the final manuscript.
This page shares the research conducted in the MSAT program for thesis research projects. Many of these projects have been presented at the , other regional, national, or international conferences, and published in research journals.
