thesis under MATESOL guidelines (See Master's Thesis document)
1. must include on their thesis committee, as thesis director,
a DEIL faculty member affiliated with CWS;
2. must focus the thesis on a topic related to pedagogy, administrative
problems, or research on a writing-related topic in the context
of second language research. Students may develop and test instructional
materials, design and evaluate an administrative procedure or

3. must prepare a formal proposal describing the research,
to be submitted to a DEIL faculty member affiliated with CWS
for approval at least six weeks prior to the start of the project;

in Writing Studies (see page 2 for this list)
Option B: conduct a Master’s Project by completing a
four-hour EIL 591 (old E I L 491) independent study under the
direction of a DEIL faculty member affiliated with CWS. The
EIL 591 independent study must result in a Master’s Project
that, when completed, would be deposited in the Writing Studies
Office within two weeks of its completion. The Master's Project
