Thesis seminar I provides students with a starting point for successfully writing their thesis.
Seminar I takes place during the fall semester (only once per academic year) and requires the submission of a thesis project as a prerequisite.

Thesis seminar II encourages students to complete 75% of their thesis to meet the final submission deadline.
