Sheedy Program Honors Thesis

(1 Credit Hour) · Undergraduate

Students in the Sheedy Family Program can apply for the Scholars track in the fall of their junior year. The Scholars track is designed for students who seek a more research-intensive experience in the Sheedy Family Program: likely students who envision graduate school in their future, or whose career preparation demands an in-depth analysis of a specific topic within the intersection of business and the liberal arts. Sheedy Scholars will hone interdisciplinary research skills and develop expertise on a subject of their choice - a subject that brings together questions, methods, and sources from business and the liberal arts. The 1-credit Sheedy Honors Thesis course is designed to supplement any standard thesis writing courses or hours that Sheedy Scholars take within their majors during their senior year. The Sheedy Scholars meet as a cohort every other week to set goals, workshop drafts, and receive faculty feedback on their writing. Students on the Scholars Track should plan to enroll in the 1-credit course during both the fall and spring semesters of their senior year.
