Hands-On Student Research

ÈËÆÞÓÕ»óies engage in cutting-edge research projects that push the boundaries of what we know and uncover new insights across various fields.

The ÈËÆÞÓÕ»ó Thesis

During your final year, you will undertake the hardest challenge of your undergraduate years—the senior thesis. Whatever your major, you’ll be immersed in research, from conducting lab experiments to reading primary sources. Work closely with a faculty member who will advise and mentor you throughout the process. In the end, you’ll have crafted a project that lives on in ÈËÆÞÓÕ»ó’s Thesis Tower and leaves a lasting impression for your future intellectual journey.

For his senior thesis, physics major Evan Peairs ‘16 experimented with acoustics to create metal sheets that, when played, sounded like church bells.
