Information on Thesis Requirements
We encourage thesis advisors to monitor progress by meeting with their students periodically, by reading rough drafts and by monitoring the Project Log.

Students must enroll in at least 3, but generally no more than 6 credits of 403 Thesis in your academic department. Thesis advisors are the instructors of record for those credits.

A Senior Thesis approval form (pdf) and WIC Requirement form(doc) are downloadable here. Once you have reviewed this with your student, please sign it and have him/her return it to Renee Stowell, Snell Hall 444.

When you are satisfied with the thesis, your student will provide you with a final copy of the thesis which contains a signature page. Your signature on this page is your indication that the thesis is approved and, if other requirements for the International Degree are met, will result in conferral of a B.A. in International Studies in their primary degree or major.

Once you have signed the thesis, your student will schedule a final oral presentation. These are usually held in students' home departments. This is not a final exam. We ask you to attend the final oral presentation and introduce your student. Students are responsible for scheduling the final oral presentation with you and for inviting members of your faculty. We will provide invitation cards.
