Plan B Project Research
Students must complete a cumulative work of scholarship known as the Plan B project. The Plan B offers more flexibility than a traditional thesis in content and format.

Committee composition is subject to approval by the program chair and Dean of the Haub School. A public oral defense of the project is required. All members of the student’s committee must be present at the defense. The student’s committee has to give final approval of the student’s Plan B thesis and defense via a report of final examination.
