毕业论文及研讨会

你的荣誉毕业论文 is where you will engage in independent research and thesis creation. Past thesis projects include creative work such as graphic novels, 戏剧, and fashion designs, as well as varied academic research on Gothic architecture and gentrification and art in Harlem and East Austin. Your final project is intended for you to reflect on your individual passions and create a work close to your own interests.

You will prepare for your senior thesis with a semester-long research or internship project constructed with the support of a research mentor within your major. This research can also occur during the summer before the fourth year, and is often supported financially through the 奖学金办公室.

Senior Thesis Schedule and Contract

Your research will be presented to the university community at the Honors Symposium and submitted to your faculty mentor as your senior thesis.
