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.
