GSBS Thesis/Dissertation Manual:

The Texas A&M University System Health Science Center (HSC) requires a dissertation or record of study (submission of three journal articles with one submitted for publication in the SRPH) from all doctoral candidates and a thesis from all thesis option master's candidates. The dissertation, record of study or thesis should be presented in a scholarly, well-integrated, properly documented manner, reporting the original work done by the student under the supervision of the advisory committee.

This manual has been prepared by The Texas A&M University System Health Science Center to assist students and their committee members in the preparation of journal submissions, theses, dissertations and records of study. The primary purpose of this manual is to provide certain uniform standards regarding style and format and to allow enough flexibility to satisfy the acceptable practices of each academic discipline. The word thesis will be used in reference to general instructions equally applicable to all theses, dissertations and records of study.

In this publication the term "School" refers to either the Baylor College of Dentistry, School of Rural Public Health or the College of Medicine Graduate Studies/Institute of Biosciences and Technology, as appropriate to each student.
