Writing the MA Thesis
For most students, crafting a professional research article is the highlight of their time at UChicago. We work closely with you to make that paper as effective as possible. Throughout your time at UChicago, the Computation team provides a range of valuable support services to aid students in the timely completion of both your coursework and MA research thesis.
Institutional Review Board (IRB)
Students working with human subjects must complete an Institutional Review Board (IRB) evaluation of their research agenda and research plan. The University provides training workshops that are specifically designed to guide students through this process. If a research project involves human subjects, training is mandatory.
Please see the IRB page for more information.
