No commitment is made that the proposal developed for this course can be applied toward meeting the requirements for ENG 598  or ED 598 . Prerequisite(s): Student writing a thesis with significant quantitative content must complete EITHER a course in Statistics at the undergraduate or graduate level, or ED 584 .
