Which
professors are available to supervise your Senior Thesis depends
on which semester you choose to take the Senior Thesis Seminar and
which professors are teaching the Seminar that semester. You should
choose a professor whose area of expertise matches your interests
in writing the Senior Thesis. You do not need to have taken a previous
course with a professor to take the Senior Thesis Seminar with that
professor, nor does your thesis supervisor need to be your major
advisor. Your should talk to your advisor, the Department Chair
and/or the faculty member you would like to supervise your thesis
if you have specific questions about the fit between your interests
and the expertise of the professor you would like to supervise your
thesis.
Help
with research for Politics courses can be obtained from any Reference
Librarian at Mark O. Hatfield Library. Ford Schmidt is the designated
Politics Department Library Research Specialist.
