BE Juniors seeking to pursue exceptionally in-depth research and scientific communication will have the opportunity to pursue an Undergraduate Thesis.

Over the course of Senior year, accepted students will write a thesis based on their research, and receive opportunities for public presentation of their work. Support for project management and communication will be provided by both students’ faculty research advisors and the BE Communication Lab.

Consider pursuing a senior thesis if you would like a structured opportunity to…

• engage more deeply with your research,
• strengthen your written and oral communication skills,
• prepare for graduate school,
• and receive support in formalizing your research, potentially enabling publication.

Current BE UGs can find details on guidelines, a timeline, and other resources on our internal pages.
