Senior Honors Thesis II

Catalog description

In this second semester, after completing the honors seminar, students are prepared to work vigorously on producing their final thesis. At this stage, students work regularly with their thesis advisor, testing out their research findings and fine-tuning their research theory. The student works within the framework of the seminar and with their faculty mentor to focus more fully on a particular area of application, as well as to cultivate a unique insight into the issue being explored. This semester is less-classroom driven and more an opportunity to develop and expand upon the body of work produced in the first semester. Ultimately, the student will present orally to the entire student body and faculty. The final thesis should be approximately 25-30 pages with proper bibliography and documentation of sources.
