Masters-level research by the candidate on an appropriate topic as arranged between the candidate and the research advisor.

This 0-credit course provides an optional additional semester to complete a thesis for students who already completed 6 SCH of IDAI 790. The student will continue to work closely with their thesis advisor and committee to complete the thesis proposal plan, culminating in a defended thesis.

The student will work independently, under the supervision of one or more faculty members, on a topic that either expands beyond the depth of or addresses content not covered in another IDAI course. (Permission of instructor and joint program director.)
