How long should an graduate research proposal be?

Question

I am working on a masters thesis and need to write out just the proposal. I know the basics of including the hypothesis, preliminary lit reviews, etc. but just need to know how long one needs to be. I've heard that 2-3 pages is sufficient, but others have told me 10-12.

Answer 1

For a masters, I'd say 2-3 is fine.  That's how much I wrote for my dissertation proposal, but my adviser recommended I expand it a bit.  :)
