MA Major Research Paper (MRP)

In addition to coursework, the other requirement for the MA degree is the Major Research Paper (MRP). The MRP builds on and expands the work that you started in your courses, and gives you scope to explore new interests and devise an independent research agenda. Each student will work closely with a supervisor, first to develop a proposal to be approved by the GSJ MA Committee and then to see the project through to completion. You’ll begin working on your proposal in the Fall semester and have your proposal approved in the Winter. Most of the work of the project will take place between April and August.
