Catalog 05-07 - Biola University

Thesis
There are two consecutive thesis seminars for master’s-level students
electing to write a thesis (Thesis First Draft and Thesis Final Draft).
These seminars are taken during the student’s last year. During
the third semester before graduation, the student must, with the
approval of a major advisor, select a thesis subject, do research, and
develop an outline and bibliography. During the final year, the thesis
can be written in conjunction with these two courses.
See the Talbot student handbook and library handbook for dates,
deadlines and requirements.
