Thesis Requirements
The summa thesis is akin to a Plan B Master's paper, requiring a substantial written component that goes beyond a magna or cum laude thesis in both breadth and depth, and also requires a public presentation of the paper's contents to the scholarly community.
Committee Composition
All theses must be approved by a three member committee. At least one committee member (not necessarily the advisor) must be a tenure-track faculty member at the University of Minnesota, and at least one must be affiliated with the department in which the thesis is conducted.
