All Holy Spirit University of Atlanta Undergraduate students must successfully complete an Undergraduate Thesis (of ca. 40-50 pages) in fulfillment of degree requirements. Students work in close collaboration with a principal field specialist (faculty member) so as to develop a focus for research inquiry specifically relevant to the individual candidate’s field of study and particular interests within that field. The Thesis proposal (contextualization, problems, hypotheses, objectives, methods of investigation and data collection, narrative outline and preliminary bibliography) must be approved in advance by the directing faculty member, by a second field specialist and by the Undergraduate Dean. The goal: to produce in the end an analytical, documented and solid contribution within an area of focused concentration. The thesis must demonstrate the development of a significant knowledge-base, critical thinking skills, knowledge of research tools and proper exposition. The completed work should be worthy of presentation to others thus facilitating the graduate’s movement, upon graduation, within the professional arena.
