Exploring Non-Traditional Theses Supports and Resources

Exploring Non-Traditional Theses Supports and Resources Online

Thinking of creating a thesis that goes beyond the written document? This session introduces participants to the supports available for developing non-traditional theses at the University of Calgary. We’ll outline types of non-traditional thesis - such as creative, digital, applied, or entrepreneurial projects - and pathways to plan, propose, and complete one successfully. Participants will learn about campus resources, examples of previous projects, and things to consider along the non-traditional thesis lifecycle.

Learning Objectives:

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

  1. Describe what constitutes a non-traditional thesis and identify common formats (creative works, digital artefacts, applied or community-based projects).
  2. Understand the thesis lifecycle and consideration for non-traditional work at each stage of planning, creating, analyzing, assessing, archiving and sharing.
  3. Identify key supports available through University resources and beyond.
  4. Locate examples and guidance in the Non-Traditional Theses Guide and how to get more help.
