2. AN EXPLANATION OF YOUR FIELD--What are the occupations in this field? What about the field
interests you? Why? What are the educational expectations? What are your plans in this study?

The Prospectus is NOT an essay!
Follow the numbered sections from the list above and answer the questions. Be sure
your research question IS a question (question mark and everything) that your research will answer.
The Prospectus
requires a minimum of two sources. It may be written in first person (use the word "I") if you prefer, but it should
be a "polished" piece of writing. It should be typed, double spaced, use correct format and be free of error.
