Thesis Research

Upon approval of your thesis proposal by the MALS Curriculum Committee, you may request to be registered for MALS 137: Thesis Research during pre-enrollment. Enrollment in Thesis Research requires you to complete and submit a MALS Thesis Research and Residency Agreement to communicate the number of terms you anticipate taking to complete your thesis research and writing. This form should include the approval of your thesis advisor.  The MALS Registrar will enroll you in MALS 137: Thesis research upon receiving the completed MALS Thesis Research and Residency Agreement, and once Course Registration opens.

You may register for MALS 137: Thesis Research for up to 4 terms (one academic year) without paying tuition. These 4 terms may, or may not, be consecutive. However, if your registration in thesis research extends beyond 4 terms, regular tuition (and scholarship) if apply (see the MALS web site for further details: https://mals.dartmouth.edu/academics/thesis). Thesis research is graded credit/no credit (CT/NC).
