Honors Program Thesis Library

1

Greetings! We’re very glad that you’ve shown interest in our thesis library. The library, as you might already know, is located in the rear of the main Honors Office (118 Neihardt), and is open from 8-5 on weekdays.

What follows is a list of theses that students have completed prior to their graduation from the Honors Program. It contains only those theses that have been processed and filed in our library, organized by the major that the student completed while at the university. The organization of each entry is as follows:

First Name Last Name Other Majors (if applicable) Faculty Advisor Thesis Title

This is fairly straightforward and intuitive.

The theses in the library proper are organized by the student’s last name, rather than by subject area. This document is, as a result, a valuable resource when looking for relevant theses. However, be warned: students are allowed to complete a thesis in the subject area of their choice, which means that there are some mathematics majors who wrote physics theses, some biology majors who wrote English theses, and the like. If you see a thesis title that looks markedly out of place, it is a testament to the varied intellectual interests of our students in the Honors Program.

Enjoy your time perusing the theses, and we hope to see you soon!

Alex Claussen

As an addendum: if you visit the library, we ask that you return viewed theses to the available tray, rather than refiling them.

This document is updated annually.
