Workload Equivalents for Dissertation/Thesis Direction

Dissertation supervision allows the director to elect, once only, a 3-hour equivalent for one semester at an appropriate time in the student’s career, for example, during the semester that the student defends.  Directors of M.A. and M.A. TESL theses earn 2 hours of WLE per completed thesis. Directors of M.F.A. theses earn 2.5 hours of WLE per completed thesis.
