Second-Year Project

In the second year, graduate students are required to complete a second year project at Rice. Although students who enter with a Master's degree in Psychology (or related field) from another university are not required to complete a second Master’s thesis at Rice, they are still required to submit a second-year project.

The second year project requirement can be satisfied by submitting (1) a Master's thesis or a near-final draft of the Master’s thesis or (2) a written report of a research project conducted at Rice.

Submit a pdf version of your project to the graduate director and a paper version to your advisor by 5:00 pm on the last day of finals for the spring semester. This is a hard deadline and not subject to extension. If your research is not completed by this time, hand in a report on what you have accomplished by the deadline.
