Directed and Thesis Studies
A directed study or thesis is a way for undergraduate students to gain research experience. They are available to fourth-year students and are conducted under the guidance of a supervisor. Goals, outcomes, and grading are decided by the student and supervisor at the start of the term. In addition to registering through the SSC, the course syllabus form must be filled out by the student and supervisor and submitted to your Geography Advisor. This form can be obtained by contacting the undergraduate student advisor for Geography (Suzanne Lawrence).
