| Each Wilkes Honors College student writes
an honors thesis or completes a senior
project as partial fulfillment of the degree
requirements. Many students find the thesis
to be the most satisfying part of their
college experience. While it may seem daunting
to incoming freshmen, by the time students
reach their senior year they have been
prepared with the writing skills, depth
of knowledge, and critical thinking skills
to succeed. The thesis offers students
the opportunity to work closely with a
primary faculty advisor and a second reader
on a topic of the student’s choice.
All research involving any federally mandated compliance issues must be approved by the appropriate University Committee prior to any collection of data on the study. Compliance issues include: human subjects, animal subjects, infectious agents, recombinant DNA, radioactive material, x-rays, lasers, hazardous chemicals and boating/diving safety. For additional informatin, please contact the FAU Division of at (561) 297-0777 or access their website.
Deadlines: Begin thinking of your topic
in the Fall of your junior year. During
the spring semester of your junior
year find a primary and a secondary
faculty thesis advisor. Begin reading
or research in the summer prior to
your senior year. Register for thesis
credits during Fall and Spring semesters
of your senior year. Your primary advisor
will tell you when your final draft
of the thesis is due for grading. The
signed copy of the thesis is due 3
days prior to graduation.
Students must turn in the thesis release form with their thesis. Faculty advisors must turn in the thesis archiving form and thesis assessment form to the Associate Dean.
Students must also submit a pdf version of their final thesis (with cover page): The file name should be: last_first_S12 (for Spring 12). Email to Mark Tunick (tunick@fau.edu).
