HIST 498 Senior Paper (3)

The senior paper is intended for the exceptional student who has a well-thought-out research topic, and it may be taken only with prior approval of the History department. At least one month before the end of the semester prior to the semester in which the paper is to be written, the student must select a topic and obtain approval of that topic from a professor willing to direct the paper. The student must then petition the department for the right to register for the course and have that petition approved by the department. The senior paper may be directed by any member of the department. Another reader of the department will serve as second reader. A copy of the paper will be kept in the department office.
