HTY 450 - History Thesis

Open to highly qualified senior history majors. Students are expected to write a sophisticated research paper, under the supervision of a faculty sponsor and then defend it at a formal oral examination before the sponsor and at least two other faculty members agreed upon by the student and the sponsor. A research plan must be prepared prior to the term in which the course is taken and must be approved by both the sponsor and a majority of the history faculty members. Ideally, students intending to write a thesis should begin formulating a research topic during the spring of the junior year. This course can be substituted for HTY 400.
