## Explore Past Thesis Topics

SCS undergrads interested in graduate school should take a wide variety of computer science and mathematics courses. But they should also get involved in independent research. One way to do that is through the SCS Honors Undergraduate Research Thesis program, which aims to introduce students to tasks involved in independent research.

You can get a better understanding of the program by exploring topics students have investigated in the past. Use the list below to search thesis topics and advisers from previous years. Click the ">" symbol to view the abstract for a specific entry.
