Senior theses are due to be handed into the Department Honors Coordinator and the Senior Thesis Advisor 10 days before the beginning of reading period in a student’s final semester. The final version of a student’s thesis is due no later than midnight on the last day of reading period. Students wishing to be considered for honors must give a Senior thesis presentation no later than the last day of reading period. These presentations typically last a half hour comprised of a 20-minute talk and 10-minute question and discussion period.
