HON 399: A Thesis Preparation Course

This guide informs Honors College students about the thesis writing process

First Draft of Thesis Proposal

One of the first things recommended you do is enroll in departmental honors.

The ultimate goal of this course is for students to produce a thesis proposal (8-10 pages) that is presented to the rest of the class at the end of the semester.

Generally speaking, a thesis proposal will include the following sections:

• Title page

• Abstract

• Introduction

• Thesis statement

• Literature Review

• Methods

• Work plan including time table

• List of references

• A copy of IRB application (if applicable)
