The Senior Research Thesis is a unique opportunity to pursue your intellectual curiosities and develop topical expertise relating to your career goals. Under the guidance of faculty, students design their own study, collect and analyze original data, and present their findings. Many of our students go on to present their research at Western Research Day, or use their thesis to apply to attend an academic conference or graduate school.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
