The Senior Honors Thesis is, in most cases, a two-semester project completed under the supervision of a faculty mentor and is the culmination of your college experience, emphasizing critical thinking, writing, and independent work. Your thesis may or may not relate to your major. You are encouraged to select a topic that you find exciting and satisfying, and that will allow you to be creative. Most students write a thesis in their senior year, though it may be possible for upper juniors to enroll. Students who complete a thesis are eligible for Honors in their discipline. See the library Thesis Guide for the application form, guidelines, and resources for writing a thesis.
