Theses & Dissertations

The Graduate and Professional School (TGPS) at SHSU oversees and implements the thesis/dissertation policies, guidelines and submission process. TGPS has numerous resources to assist graduate students during the thesis/dissertation writing process as well as professional development workshops. TGPS is committed to assisting graduate students during their thesis/dissertation research journey. Students can view these resources under the Events and Resources tab on The Graduate and Professional School webpage.

For questions regarding initiation sheets, embargo requests, and public defense announcements, email thegraduateschool@shsu.edu.

For questions regarding 1st and Final Draft Review submissions, formatting thesis/dissertation documents, and updates on Vireo submissions and route sheets, email tgsthesis@shsu.edu.

NOTE: Students should submit graduate school requirements in the semester in which they intend to graduate. The Graduate and Professional School does not require the submission of proposals or prospectuses.

***The Graduate and Professional School requirements are university-wide and separate from internal department/college requirements. Students must ensure they are completing requirements for both their program/department and the graduate school. Failure to fulfill all requirements can delay graduation.
