Course content and structure |
The master’s thesis is normally the last step in a graduate
course of study, representing a research inquiry in the field of
concentration, reflecting appropriate social science research
method and offering original contributions. Orientation sessions
and various workshops are offered in support of all facets of the
thesis process.
The purpose of the master’s thesis is for the student to develop
and manifest the ability to conduct a graduate level research
involving proper description, analysis, and the crafting of an
appropriate research issue using appropriate scientific theory and
research method.
The general focus of the BLC master’s thesis, consistent with
the BLC course of study, should involve a defined international
and/or intercultural issue relevant to companies and
organizations.
