                 The Difference between a Project and a Thesis

A project involves curriculum or program development and applies theory to practice, while a thesis is a traditional research project where the student gathers data, analyzes that data, and presents the results along with their interpretations. Whereas a project creates a product that is often used in a professional capacity by the student, a thesis uses data analysis to answer a research question or test a hypothesis of interest to the student.
