Required reading: Guide to Graduate Studies.
Wonder what a really good project/thesis looks like?
Meriam Library has just added a featured list "Outstanding Theses/Projects" to their catalog. The new page lists every CSU Chico Outstanding Thesis and Project winner since 1988, the title of each thesis/project, the year of the award, and the chair of each graduate advisory committee. Hardcopy of older theses/projects are available in the library; newer ones are available electronically.
See also the Chico Digital Repository Master's Theses & Projects.

Defense
See the Important Dates page for important deadlines.
Steps to take to set up your oral defense:
- Preliminary
- Make sure that you have submitted your graduate program plan
- Ensure that you have an approved final draft of your written report
- Ask the committee members if your work is complete enough for the oral defense to be scheduled
- Ask the committee members when they are available to come to your oral defense
- Once a date and time is established, fill out the Oral Defense Confirmation Form and send to the Department Administrative Assistant, Michelle Berglund-Smith. She will notify the Graduate School of your presentation, assign a room, reserve an overhead projector (if necessary), and advertise your oral defense to the faculty and students.
