Sociology Senior Seminar II

3 Credits · Level: Undergraduate

Sociology Required Course (for majors). The senior seminar offers a unique capstone experience for Sociology majors at Georgetown University. Rather than presenting new material, the course is an opportunity for students to synthesize their experience as Sociology majors to produce an original research paper - the senior thesis. The course will emphasize your skills as critical thinkers, thoughtful researchers and strong writers as you engage with a research topic of your choice. Writing assignments throughout the semester will culminate in a final paper of ~ 15,000 words. As the capstone experience in the Sociology department, your senior thesis is an opportunity to select an exciting research topic and draw on your sociological knowledge to produce an outstanding piece of scholarship. Some seats are reserved.
