The Senior Honors Thesis/Project is a 10-credit-hours independent project.  The thesis
may be a research or creative project and is completed under the direction of a faculty member.

The ten credit hours are divided over three semesters, and students typically register
for the Thesis Proposal Semester in the spring semester of their junior year.  Study
abroad, student teaching, and other academic activities can alter the distribution of thesis semesters, so students planning to complete a thesis should be sure to work closely
with the thesis coordinator.

The Senior Honors Thesis Handbook contains all of the detailed information required for thesis students and their advisors.  The answers to frequently asked questions and the opportunity to review sample proposals will be especially helpful for students considering
or just beginning thesis work.  The Thesis Archive is comprised of the names, titles, and faculty advisors for every completed Senior Honors Thesis/Project and may be helpful for students interested in seeing what other students have done.

If you believe a thesis might be valuable to you but still need more information, please
plan to attend one of the Thesis Information meetings scheduled for this semester:

• March 6, 2012, 4:30 p.m., 60 & 62 Johnson
• March 7, 2012, 4:30 p.m., 55 Johnson

"Completing an Honors thesis was so valuable.  It helped me prepare for my master's thesis and dissertation; I knew what to expect and that I could handle it." -Jamie Lewis Smith, Psychology, 2000
