The Honors thesis is an opportunity for students to work on an independent research project or creative endeavor that caps their undergraduate academic experience. Working with a faculty advisor and a thesis committee, students design and carry out a project that is meaningful to them and their career trajectory.\u00a0 The thesis process also entails creating a reading list made up of twelve to fifteen \u201ctexts\u201d (including books, articles, music, visual art, media, experiences, etc.)\u00a0 that have played a significant role in the student\u2019s intellectual, academic, and personal development throughout their undergraduate career.\u00a0 The culminating experience is the thesis defense which is divided into two parts: 1) students present their thesis and answer questions from their committee about their research, and 2) a discussion of the reading list.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The University of Maine has been a longtime proponent of sustainable action and has supported many research and community projects related to various facets of sustainability. Students from diverse majors have chosen to create projects related to sustainability. For examples, see below.  More information about the Honors thesis process can be found on the Honors College site<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
