SM 489 - Senior Thesis I

Senior Thesis I is the first phase of a two-semester thesis sequence through which students lay the groundwork in an area of interest for the original work they are expected to undertake in Senior Thesis II. Students refine their topics, review and synthesize literature related to their areas of focus, conduct research, and develop research proposals or plans for creative projects. The final course outcomes consist of both a literature review and a Senior Thesis II project proposal. Note: Students completing Senior Thesis I at a distance must meet the requirements as outlined in the Catalog and seek the permission of their school dean.
