Scope & content

The BFA theses, 1987-2010, are arranged alphabetically within 3-ring notebooks and folders organized by year. The bulk of the theses include a written statement of varying length, style, composition, and complexity and a set of slides showing the students' work. Slides may be identified by year, size of print, color or b/w, title, or student. Statements, typed and handwritten, may include professor's written comments, including proofreading marks, and statements may include drafts as well. The MFA theses, 1987-2010, are stored separately, the bulk of which do not include slides. Recent theses may include computer discs instead of slides. The BFA theses, 1992 and 1993, include separate students' proposals with slides prepared for the Lief - Peers Awards. Other years may include the proposals with the theses. Thesis slides may be stored with the proposals.

Please contact the Archives to identify students with theses in the collection.
