    This course is designed for the Communication major with senior status and a grade point average of at least 3.5 who intends to continue on to a graduate program in Communication, Integrated Marketing, Human Resources, or Business, etc. The completion of a senior thesis is intended to show a student’s ability to carry on independent and sustained scholarship within the discipline and will also result in a superior writing sample for a graduate application. In this age of competitive applications to graduate school, a proven ability in independent and sophisticated scholarship before admittance gives an applicant a great advantage. The thesis is to be undertaken only with the approval of both a faculty advisor who will oversee the project, and the chair of the department. The specifics of the project will be designed by the student under the guidance of the faculty advisor. Though the project must be centered in one concentration of Communication, the scope may include other areas as well. In projects that cross disciplines, the student may need to ask additional faculty to help advise in those areas. In such cases, the student will be advised by a committee of faculty members with a Communication Studies Department faculty member serving as Chair.
