Culminating Event:
Thesis:
The master's thesis documents the student's independent research and demonstrates mastery of epidemiologic concepts and methods as well as their primary area of interest. Thesis research is conducted under the direct supervision of a faculty advisor. The specific topic for research should be of current interest in the professional community. After a research topic is selected, the student performs preliminary background research. A thesis proposal is then submitted to their thesis committee describing the plan for further steps toward completion of the proposed research. The student may continue the research only after the proposal is approved by the thesis committee. Presentation of methods and study results is performed upon completion of the thesis.
