Planning Your Thesis

The Thesis Project is a culmination of your undergraduate career at Syracuse, the planning process should begin with the proper time to find a faculty advisor, develop a research idea and have sufficient time to study your question.  This is an opportunity for you to explore your professional and academic interests, make connections, ask questions, and gather ideas.

The first place to start is to: explore what opportunities there are in your major(s); what are other students doing or what have past students accomplished? What labs and research centers are out there on campus? Connect with people working in those spaces and begin reading papers, viewing works, taking classes that expand on those interests or perhaps add an interdisciplinary lens to them.

Use the links to the left to begin the planning process for your Thesis Project.

The Honors Thesis Junior Proposal is due by April 15th of your junior year.
