Thesis and Dissertation

A thesis and a dissertation are comprehensive research projects that scholars complete to earn advanced degrees, such as a master's or doctoral degree. A thesis typically involves presenting original findings on a specific topic, showing understanding and contribution to a field of study. A dissertation, usually for a doctorate, is more extensive and requires original research that contributes new knowledge to the field. Both involve rigorous investigation, analysis, and documentation, culminating in a written report that must be defended before a panel of experts. They reflect a deep commitment to academic inquiry and scholarship.
