Senior Honors Thesis
The CML can present a range of options for engaging in a senior honors thesis and thereby graduate “with Honors” or “with Highest Honors”. The thesis could entail completing a small independent project, taking ownership over an aspect of one of the many projects being lead by a graduate student, or secondary data analysis.
