The senior thesis

Princeton NJ — The senior thesis, an independent work that typically runs about 100 pages, gives seniors the opportunity to pursue original research and scholarship under the guidance of faculty advisers.

This week’s and next week’s issue of the Princeton Weekly Bulletin will profile a group of students who have met that intellectual challenge and more. They explored topics that were near to their hearts and, as a result, produced papers and projects that mean more to them than perhaps any other exercise during their undergraduate experience.
