Students register for this 3-credit course in the semester when they
research and write their senior project. Students concentrating in literature
or secondary education work on an original research project
in an area of their interest, based on preliminary work they began in
the Junior Seminar. Students work individually under the direction of
a faculty member to complete a written thesis of 20-30 pages which
will be submitted to the faculty of the Department for final approval.
Students concentrating in Creative Writing or Professional Writing
also work on projects based on preliminary work begun in Junior
Seminar, but their theses will be comprised of original creative work
in the form of a manuscript of poems, stories, drama, creative nonfiction,
technical writing or scientific writing, as appropriate to the students’
areas of expertise. Theses for the Creative Writing
Concentration will also include a critical component, in which the student
analyzes and evaluates the creative work of others.
