Departmental Thesis

The departmental thesis is designed to allow a student to investigate a political science research topic in great detail during their final two semesters. Students wishing to pursue a successful thesis should begin thinking about an appropriate research topic and begin making contact with an intended advisor by no later than the spring of junior year. Students should contact the undergraduate coordinator, Nathalie Neptune, who will help guide you through the registration process.
