Senior Thesis

In order to graduate with honors from West Liberty University, a student must complete an Honors College Senior Research Project. The project consists of original, independent research undertaken with a faculty advisor. This work is designed to be a defining accomplishment of an honors undergraduate education, serving as an example of one’s finest academic work. It provides a showcase for one’s past endeavors, while in many cases also serving as a transition to post-graduate education or other career goals.
