Students in the MA Political Economy program must complete a Master\u2019s Research Essay (MRE) or Thesis as part of their program requirements. Typically, Full-time students will choose a path during their second term in the program, while taking PECO 5001 [0.5 credit] The Methodology of Political Economy. By the end of this course, students will have their MRE or Thesis proposals complete and will have secured a supervisor.  Part-time students should have their proposals completed by the time they finish all of their coursework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Full-time students will typically begin registering in PECO 5908 Research Essay [1.0 credit] or PECO 5909 Thesis [2.0 credit] during their 3rd term (Summer) of the program. Keep in mind that once you register in either of these courses, you must maintain registration each term until completion. If you fail to register, you will lose your status in the program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
