All students, including Honors students, must take one of two capstone courses: ESPM 4021W or ESPM 4041W. The Honors thesis is a separate endeavor, not linked to either capstone course.
To complete a summa level thesis, students must make a public presentation of their thesis findings and then pass an oral exam with the thesis committee.
All students will choose a thesis committee comprising at least three members: a thesis advisor and two additional reviewers. Students are responsible for identifying a thesis advisor who will agree to supervise their thesis prior to submitting their thesis proposal. At least one member—not necessarily the thesis advisor—must be tenured or tenure-track faculty at the University of Minnesota, and at least one member must be affiliated with the department in which the thesis is conducted.
