To do a thesis or not?
Hi everyone,
I'm nearing the end of my first year of my Master's in Women, Gender and Sexuality studies and I need to make a decision regarding whether or not to do a thesis.
I'm interested PhD programs in Literature with concentrations in Gender and Sexuality (My top two schools are currently UNC Chapel Hill and University of Florida). I want to use my M.A. to get a broad basis in a wide variety of areas which would lend towards doing the non-thesis option, however, I've heard that doing a master's thesis looks better on a PhD application.
Does anyone have any experience with this? Will it hurt my chances to not do a master's thesis?
