PREPARATION OF THE MASTER'S THESIS

A master's thesis embodies original work by the candidate, conducted under the supervision of members of the faculty of Smith College. As a contribution to knowledge within appropriate fields, it must, without fail, be clear, be grammatically correct and include a review of pertinent literature. The original and one copy of the thesis must be submitted to the Office of Graduate Study by the last day of examinations. An additional copy of the thesis should be presented directly to the thesis director before the last day of classes. If any extension of time becomes necessary, arrangements should be made with the Director of Graduate Programs. Once the thesis has been submitted to the Office of Graduate Programs, it becomes the property of Smith College. No changes or corrections can be made after the thesis has been submitted.
