Senior thesis
During the senior year, each student writes a thesis. The senior thesis must be judged satisfactory by two members of the faculty, at least one of whom must be a member of the Department of Politics.It is common, but by no means required, for junior paper topics, especially in the spring term, to serve as starting points for a senior thesis topic. The Department encourages students to use the summer between junior and senior year for work on the senior thesis.
