Senior Honors Thesis Program
The Senior Honors Thesis program provides students the opportunity to conduct original research under the guidance of a faculty advisor while earning a total of 4.5 credits in their senior year. In their final semester, students present their research to a committee and their work potentially can be published in an academic journal. This program is an excellent resume builder for students and is beneficial for any future career or graduate school application.
After the successful completion and defense of their thesis, students will receive a notation of Senior Honors Thesis in Business on their transcript and will receive recognition for their accomplishment at Tropaia, our honors ceremony for graduating seniors.
Past members of the Student Honors Thesis Program have found it to be one of the most rewarding and memorable aspects of their time at Georgetown. To ensure an exceptional, personalized experience, the program offers a select number of seats.

Coursework
Once the senior thesis scholar has been accepted, they will register for:
- BADM 4998: Senior Thesis I (3 credits) in the fall semester of their senior year.
- BADM 4999: Senior Thesis II (1.5 credits) in the spring semester of their senior year.
Note: The seminar meeting days and times are to be determined. Since the seminar classes are small, the course instructor will work with the senior thesis cohort to find a time that works for all students. We strongly encourage students to treat the senior thesis seminar as a class and sign up for 15 credits or less in their senior year to give them time to conduct their research and attend to their writing.
