Major Research Paper

The MSA program culminates in the submission and oral defense of a major research paper. Through the research paper, students demonstrate a critical understanding of the methodological and practical issues facing users of GIS and spatial analysis methods. The topic can result from coursework, research with the student's supervisor, the internship placement, or other motivations. Details on the research paper can be found in the  Yeates School of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies policies entitled, "Thesis, MRP, and Dissertation Thesis Guidelines."

The following table contains examples of the subjects of past research papers in the MSA program. You can find papers in the University Library Digital Repository
