What is the honors thesis?
The honors thesis is the culmination of Barrett students’ honors experience and their entire undergraduate education.
The honors thesis is an original piece of work developed by a student under the guidance of a thesis committee. It is an opportunity for students to work closely with faculty on important research questions and creative ideas. The honors thesis can have either a research or creative focus, and enables students to design, execute and present an intellectually rigorous project in their chosen field of study.
The first step in the honors thesis process is the completion of a thesis preparation workshop.
These workshops equip every Barrett student with knowledge about the logistics, resources and expectations for the honors thesis. Barrett students are encouraged to complete a thesis preparation workshop no later than the first semester of their junior year.
There are two options for completing a thesis preparation workshop.
