I am writing a proposal for a semester of paper reading and small projects that will result in a thesis proposal. The proposal will include 1) a thesis general thesis topic 2) specialized training 3) a reading list 4) a timeline. Which document class best fits this sort of document?

According to @cfr, article
class is an obviously good starting point.
However, if you are in control of the document layout (that is, you should not adhere to a template) and want something more fancy, I'd suggest you the tufte-latex
document class (available on ctan).
I recently wrote a proposal with the same purpose as yours, and --besides the proposal content itself-- it was very well received.
The sample-handout.pdf is a nice display of all the class features.
article
should do. Welcome to TeX.SX!article
class. Also you can use thescrartcl
class from the KOMA Script bundle (is like article but improved and more flexible), also you can try with thetufte-handout
. I think all those works fine four your requirements.
