To help familiarize students with the thesis review process, SJSU requirements, and to answer students' questions, the Office of Graduate Studies & Research offers a thesis workshop in the Fall and Spring semesters. The thesis workshop covers procedures, required materials, common errors, and publishing information. The schedule for the upcoming semester is as follows:
Please check this website at the beginning of each semester for updates regarding the times and location of the thesis workshop. If you are unable to attend you may also download the PowerPoint presentation: Steps for Completing Your Master's Thesis.
Two Outstanding Thesis Awards of $500 are presented personally by the President of SJSU at Commencement each May. SJSU allows each College to select only one thesis to be sent forward for consideration. Students with degrees awarded in May of the year of award are eligible, as well as those with degree dates from the immediately past May, August, and December. Prior May degree recipients are included so that high quality work completed too late for the past year's selection process can participate. Only Plan A Theses qualify for this award.
Interested students are encouraged to contact their faculty advisor or department early in the Spring, as the thesis must be nominated by the student’s College.
