ILS: LEARN: THESIS TIPS

One of the most important components of the Bates curriculum is the senior thesis, which is offered in all departments and programs and required by most. The Faculty believes that a Bates senior is well-educated and well-prepared to undertake a significant research, service, performance, or studio project in the final year of study in the major. More than 85 percent of each graduating class completes a senior thesis. The traditional senior thesis involves one or two semesters of original research and writing, culminating in a substantial paper on a research topic of the student's design.

Before you begin work on your Senior Thesis, please consult the following resources that we have prepared to assist you with your process.
