Photography Master’s Thesis
A master's dissertation asks more of you than any assignment ever has: not to show what you can make, but to prove what the field did not yet know — one question from your own practice, followed with patience and defensible method until it becomes knowledge the University will publish.
The capstone passage of the master's degree — from the claim of an original contribution and the long conversation of scholars, through the lens of theory and the conscience that keeps a study honest, into design, instruments, evidence, and analysis, until every chapter stands assembled, revised, and submitted — and your dissertation takes its place in the University's published research.
Course Overview
PHO 499 is the capstone of the Master of Science in Photography: an eight-lesson course in which you research, write, and complete your master's dissertation part by part. Each lesson turns graduate research craft toward your own photographic practice, and each assignment produces a real section of the dissertation — the research question, the literature review, the theoretical framework, the ethics statement, the methodology, the findings — until the final lesson, where you submit the finished dissertation for faculty review and publication in the University's research collection.
