Themes can be general (“racism,” “gender roles,” etc…) or specific (e.g., “slavery in the antebellum South”). You will take four courses in at least two social science disciplines that relate to or inform this theme. These courses must be at the 200-level or above, with at least one at the 300-level or above. Courses that you have already taken that meet these criteria and are relevant to your chosen theme may be counted toward the thematic requirement.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Research with faculty advisor” _builder_version=”4.17.6″ global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n In the semester before writing your thesis, you will take HSS 350 or an equivalent course with your thesis advisor. This course is designed for you to conduct independent research for your thesis project under the guidance of your advisor. The content of the course is determined entirely by your advisor. Departmental independent studies may substitute for HSS 350. In some cases, so too may labs and specialized seminars.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Thesis-writing colloquium” _builder_version=”4.17.6″ global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n In your final semester as an undergraduate, you will enroll in HSS 390, the thesis-writing colloquium for HSS students.
