Senior Thesis
Undergraduate seniors looking for an experience that is both challenging and rewarding should consider working with one of our world-class faculty members on a thesis project.
There are a number of reasons a student might decide to undertake thesis research and writing:
- You are thinking about post-graduate research and want to know if it is the right path for you.
- You’ve found an unanswered question that you are excited to study further.
- It’s a requirement for your joint concentration.
No matter what your motive is for considering a thesis project, we are here to help you prepare for what it takes to conduct this level of research and writing toward the end of your undergraduate career.
