Senior THESIS: STUDENT/FACULTY Instructions

Huxley College of the Environment now requires that all Senior THESIS be submitted in a digital (.pdf) format. Completed reports are available online along with Huxley student Internship and Senior Project Reports (accessible to Western students, faculty and staff only). Students are required to create a digital signature page to be included in the .pdf file, as outlined below.

 

Senior Thesis credits are assigned a 498a course number for registration, which require an override code from the faculty. The Senior Thesis should be similar to a graduate level Thesis in style and format, however it can be slightly less formal.
