»MA in WDS Program Handbook
This program handbook is intended as a resource guide for graduate students in the War, Diplomacy, and Society program, where you will find helpful information and answers to frequently asked questions. However, the Graduate Catalog is considered the official representation of program requirements for all graduate programs at Chapman University. If a conflict between the information in this handbook and the Graduate Catalog arises, the information in the Graduate Catalog prevails.
The Chapman University Graduate Student Handbook is the location for graduate student academic policies, expectations, and helpful information as well as non-academic information, resources, and support. Important information will not be repeated here, and graduate students are encouraged to utilize both handbooks.
In addition to these handbooks, all Wilkinson College graduate students are expected to adhere to The Student Code of Conduct.
If you have questions or need information that is not addressed in this handbook, you can seek guidance from the Program Director and/or Graduate Programs Coordinator, whose contact information can be found on this page.

Program Requirements
Required Coursework and Additional Elective Courses
Current requirements for the MA program, as well as all courses offered, are included in the Graduate Catalog; this information is not duplicated here in this handbook. The student’s individual Program Evaluation in the Learning Management System is designed to help the student understand degree requirements and track progress toward the degree.
Log into the Leaning Management System at StudentCenter.chapman.edu.
Students are also permitted to enroll in graduate-level courses in other colleges/departments at Chapman University that have a significant war and/or diplomacy focus with the approval of the Program Director.
The Master’s Thesis
Thesis Overview
All MA students in War, Diplomacy & Society must complete and orally defend a master’s thesis to earn the degree. The thesis is an original work of scholarship based on primary-source research and engagement with relevant secondary literature. While most theses are grounded in historical methodology, the program also welcomes interdisciplinary projects, provided they are based on original primary research.
By the end of the first year, students identify a core faculty member to serve as thesis director and committee chair. In consultation with the director, students develop a research topic and submit a formal thesis proposal for approval. During the summer between the first and second years, students typically refine the proposal and begin preliminary research.
In the second year, students enroll in HIST 698 (Thesis) over two consecutive semesters. During this time, they conduct research, develop an original argument, and complete the thesis. Students also form a three-member thesis committee, chaired by the thesis director, for program approval.
In the final semester, students defend their thesis before their committee. Successful completion of both the written thesis and oral defense is required for degree conferral. All degree requirements, including the thesis, must be completed within seven years of matriculation.
The program offers two thesis formats:
- Traditional Thesis: A ~75-page manuscript consisting of an introduction, 2–3 chapters, and a conclusion delivering a unified argument in response to a clear research question.
- Project-Based Thesis (Portfolio): A thematically unified project consisting of two article-length papers (approx. 25 pages each), a third scholarly or creative component developed in consultation with the thesis director, and an introduction that connects the components.
This timeline assumes full-time enrollment; students following a different schedule will work with the Program Director to develop a customized plan.
For examples of past projects, visit our published theses page for models and inspiration.
The Thesis Proposal
By the end of the first year, students identify a thesis director based on subject or methodological expertise and begin developing a thesis proposal. Full-time students typically complete the proposal during the summer between Years 1 and 2.
Once the proposal is approved, the student and thesis director should contact the Graduate Programs Coordinator to initiate enrollment in HIST 698: Thesis. Each student is assigned a unique section of HIST 698, created specifically after the director’s approval.
Proposal Requirements
The proposal (approximately 1,000 words) should include:
- A central research question
- A discussion of relevant historiography
- Proposed methods, with special attention to the primary source base
- A statement of the project’s importance
- A timeline for completion
- A preliminary bibliography of primary and secondary sources
For students pursuing the project-based (portfolio) thesis, the proposal should also outline the two article-length papers and describe the third component of the project.
Submitting the Proposal
After approval by the thesis director, students submit the proposal through the War, Diplomacy & Society Thesis Proposal Submission Form. Students will be notified via their Chapman email within approximately two weeks whether the proposal is approved or requires revisions.
Crafting the Thesis: HIST 698
HIST 698: Thesisis an individualized course of independent research and writing conducted under the supervision of a thesis director. Each student is enrolled in a dedicated section and meets regularly with the director to develop, write, and refine the thesis.
First Semester of HIST 698 (Thesis, Part I)
By the end of the first thesis semester, students are expected to have:
- Completed the bulk of primary and secondary source research
- Fully conceptualized the project, including a complete project outline and chapter-level plans
- Begun substantial drafting of the thesis
Successful completion of this stage requires a passing grade and the thesis director’s approval to advance to the final semester of HIST 698.
Second Semester of HIST 698 (Thesis, Part II)
During the final thesis semester, students are expected to focus on:
- Completing all remaining writing (chapters, introduction, and conclusion)
- Allowing sufficient time for revision in consultation with the thesis director
- Preparing the thesis for defense and final submission
All students must earn a passing grade in their first section of HIST 698, as well as the thesis director’s consent, before moving advancing into their final section of HIST 698. If students receive an “incomplete” for any section of HIST 698, they have one year from the first day of the term in which the incomplete was recorded to resolve the grade, unless a shorter period of time is specified by the director. Professors have the option of granting a “satisfactory progress” (SP) to those students who are likely to complete HIST 698 requirements in a timely fashion, as designated by the thesis advisor and program director.
Thesis Requirements and Formatting
The thesis is an original work of scholarship based on primary-source research and engagement with relevant secondary literature. While most theses are grounded in historical methodology, the program also welcomes interdisciplinary projects, provided they are based on original primary research.
Students may complete the thesis in one of two formats:
Traditional Thesis
- Approximately 75 pages (excluding front matter and bibliography)
- Structured as an introduction, 2–3 chapters, and a conclusion
- Presents a sustained argument based on primary-source research
- Formatted according to the Chicago Manual of Style (footnotes)
Project-Based Thesis (Portfolio)
- A thematically unified project that includes:
- An introduction that connects and frames the project as a whole
- Two article-length papers (approx. 25 pages each; may include revised seminar work)
- A third scholarly or creative component developed in consultation with the thesis director
- Demonstrates a coherent intellectual contribution across all components
- Formatted according to the Chicago Manual of Style (footnotes)
All theses must include required front matter (e.g., title page, abstract, table of contents) and adhere to Leatherby Libraries formatting guidelines.
Thesis Committee, Defense & Deadlines
Thesis Committee
Students form their thesis committee during the second semester of HIST 698 (Thesis II) in consultation with the thesis director. The committee consists of three members:
- Thesis director (chair)
- Second reader
- Third reader
The Thesis Committee Approval Form must be submitted early in the semester, in coordination with the planned defense date. Any changes to the committee require approval from the thesis director and Program Director.
The Thesis Defense
The thesis defense is an oral examination of the student’s research and argument.
Students begin with a 10–15 minute presentation addressing:
- The development of the project (genesis)
- The central research question
- The main argument
- Sources and methodology
- The project’s contribution to the field
This presentation is followed by discussion and questioning from the committee.
A complete or near-final draft of the thesis must be shared with all committee members at least two weeks prior to the defense, unless otherwise agreed.
Deadlines & Final Submission
- Thesis Defense: Typically scheduled in July (summer), November (fall), and April (spring)
- Final Thesis Submission: Due in August, December, and May
After a successful defense, students must:
- Work with the thesis director to complete the Thesis Submission Checklist
- Obtain all required committee signatures on the thesis signature page
- Submit the final, approved thesis to Leatherby Libraries
After a successful defense, faculty must:
- Evaluate the project using the War, Diplomacy & Society Assessment Rubric
For degree conferral, students must also successfully submit the thesis to:
- Chapman University Digital Commons
- ProQuest Dissertations & Theses Global
Complete submission instructions, required checklists, and official deadlines are
available on the Leatherby Libraries website:
https://libguides.chapman.edu/dissertations
The Dissertations and Theses Librarian is available to assist students with formatting and submission. Students are encouraged to reach out in person at Leatherby Libraries or via email for support.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do to make sure I’m on track to graduate?
Use the Program Evaluation in the Student Center to track your progress through the program and plan your courses. Review your Program Evaluation on a regular basis to ensure your courses are counting as they should, and if anything looks out of the ordinary, contact the Program Director and Graduate Programs Coordinator.
Prior to the semester in which you will complete your degree requirements and defend the thesis, submit an Application for Degree Conferral in the Student Center.
Who is my advisor?
The course requirements have changed since I arrived. Which requirements do I need to fulfill?
May I switch to the requirements of a newer catalog?
Why won’t the Student Center allow me to enroll in a course?
I’m an integrated student. How do I register for graduate courses during my senior year of undergraduate studies?
How do I add a course that has been closed?
How do I develop and register for an Individual Study course?
Aligned with Chapman University's commitment to an individualized education, graduate students in the War, Diplomacy, and Society program have the unique opportunity to work one-on-one with a program core faculty member in co-developing a specialized course that can count towards the student's degree requirements. Individual Study can be taken in a variety of ways, such as continued exploration of an subject or topic originally studied in a previous class, the development of a relevant project, or in preparation for the thesis.
Individual Study courses are voluntary agreements between individual faculty members and individual students, in which students complete a course of study and assignment. The course of study and assignments for a three-unit Individual Study is comparable to that required for a regular three-unit course.
Because Individual Studies are intensive activities, faculty members regard them as a significant commitment. Faculty members are not obligated to supervise Individual Studies, and they typically do so with students who have completed a class or other educational/research activity under their supervision.
Only members of the core faculty of the War, Diplomacy, and Society program can supervise an Individual Study.
If you wish to do an Individual Study course, you should contact that faculty member directly to discuss the possibility. Once you and a faculty member have agreed on a course, you will need to fill out the Individual Study and Research Form. Also required will be a course description and course learning outcomes developed between the student and faculty member which must be approved by the instructor and Department Chair.
- The Subject is HIST
- The Course Number and Title of Individual Study must be 599 Individual Study
- The Individual Study must be for 3 Credits and Graded as the Grading Option
The deadline to add individual study courses for each term can be found on the academic calendar. A fully approved request must be submitted to the office of the registrar well ahead of that deadline.
For any additional questions regarding the Individual Study process, please contact the Program Director and Graduate Programs Coordinator.
Is it possible to substitute another course for a required course?
What is the policy for receiving an Incomplete?
What if I need to take a leave of absence?
A student can take a one-semester leave without making a formal request. The student should inform the Program Director and the Graduate Programs Coordinator.
If you need to interrupt progress toward your degree for more than one semester, a leave of absence may be granted. Leaves of absence can be granted for one year, with a possible renewal of one additional year. To apply for a leave of absence, the student must fill out and submit a Graduate Petition form, as well as a written statement spelling out the reasons for the leave and bearing the signatures of the Program Director and an Associate Dean of Wilkinson College (which the Graduate Programs Coordinator can assist with). If interrupting enrollment before the end of the academic term, the student must also follow the steps to withdraw from your courses. A leave of absence cannot be approved retroactively.
If a student leaves the university in good academic standing or on academic probation and is absent no more than four consecutive regular semesters (excluding interterm and summer sessions), the student will not need to reapply and may enroll for classes at Chapman, and retain the right to elect either degree requirements in effect for that student at the time of leaving Chapman or the degree requirements in effect at the time of re-entrance.
If a student leaves the university in good standing and is gone more than four consecutive semesters, the student will not need to reapply, may re-enroll for classes at Chapman, and will be assigned the catalog requirements in effect at the time the student returns to Chapman. Students may request to return to their original catalog, and that request will be reviewed and decided upon by the Department or School; decision by the departments or School is final.
Any graduate student who has broken enrollment for a period of more than one semester (interterm and summer sessions do not constitute a semester) without receiving an approved Leave of Absence is required to request re-enrollment through the Department. The student is held to the degree requirements in effect at the time of return unless approved for the original catalog year requirements by the Program Director or Associate Dean.
Note that graduate students must complete their degree requirements within seven years of first matriculating. Leaves of absence do not suspend or extend this seven-year clock.
For more information about interrupting enrollment, see the Interrupted Enrollment guidelines.
Can I receive transfer credit for coursework taken during a leave of absence?
What if I need more time to complete my thesis after finishing my coursework?
When am I ready to graduate?
Prior to the semester in which you will complete your degree requirements and defend the thesis, submit an Application for Degree Conferral in the Student Center.
As per university policy, students must successfully submit their thesis projects to the library in order to complete the degree requirements.
What if I apply to graduate but become unable to finish in time?
When are graduation exercises?
How do I buy academic regalia for graduation?
