Graduation Deadlines

Important MA Thesis Deadline Reminders

MA Proposals must be received by November 10th for academic and professional thesis.
(Failing to submit an approved proposal by November 10th of the second year will prevent students
from registering for any subsequent academic quarters, until the proposal is submitted.)

Any second year MACSS student who does not have a faculty reader by January 1st will be
automatically assigned a MACSS faculty reader.
