Sample Theses

Beginning in May 2009, senior thesis candidates can choose to have their thesis permanently archived online in the university’s institutional repository, by granting the Undergraduate Research Program copyright permission. All senior thesis candidates retain copyright of their work, and can opt to have their thesis permanently archived online, though they are not required to do so. (However, all senior thesis candidates must submit a digital copy of their senior thesis to the URP before graduation.)

If you are a current senior thesis candidate or an alumni and would like to grant the URP copyright permission to permanently archive your thesis online, please follow the directions at the bottom of this form, and email your consent to Meg Meiman, Coordinator, Undergraduate Research Program.
