Handbook & Style Guide for Theses and Dissertations, 5th Edition

Abstract

The School of Graduate Studies (SGS) publishes the Handbook and Style Guide for Theses and Dissertations to assist Morgan State graduate students in the preparation of a master’s thesis or doctoral dissertation. To provide minimum guidelines common to all disciplines, this Handbook includes specific format requirements for the School of Graduate Studies. Information in the Handbook should also be helpful to graduate program coordinators, faculty, advisors, committee chairpersons, and committee members in understanding the standards and requirements for writing theses and dissertations at Morgan State University. The School of Graduate Studies expects that all manuscripts will consist of original research that is educationally significant and methodologically sound. The expectation is that the completed thesis or dissertation reflects academic rigor and expertise demonstrated by the student author of the work.
