How are thesis advisors selected?

Fellows receive guidance on selecting their thesis advisors during the first year of study. Students select their thesis advisor from Winterthur Museum or University of Delaware faculty who meet the University’s qualifications for guiding an MA thesis. With experts in all different sub-fields of material culture and the decorative arts, we are confident that every student can find a mentor to assist them through the thesis process, help them explore new directions and ideas, and challenge them to exceed expectations. When necessary or desired Fellows may select appropriate co- or secondary advisors.
