You must first select a topic and a supervisor. If the person you have selected agrees to supervise you with the given topic, you must get their signature and you must also get a signature from the head of the department of the supervisor. (If you have an external supervisor, not affiliated with SEAS, select the department according to your topic.)

To select an external supervisor, you must get the relevant head of department's approval. A supervisor's commitment to support you in writing your thesis is valid for three terms including the term when the title is announced. If you fail to submit the thesis during this period (slightly more than a year), the request for supervision has to be renewed. If your request is rejected, you have to look for a new supervisor. |
