A senior thesis, which counts for 3 of the required 30 credit hours. For more detailed information, please look at the Concentration Program description , below. Each year at least half our graduating concentrators complete degrees in more than one program. This is particularly easy to accomplish with programs that offer a large number of courses that count toward a LACS major, such as Anthropology, History, and Spanish, because you can apply these credit hours toward more than one major .

Most people react at first to the Thesis Requirement with fear and trepidation.
But the students who go through the program discover each year that the thesis not as hard to complete as they had feared. In fact, most enjoy researching and writing it, and learn a tremendous amount in the process. Don't think of it as a thesis, but as a research paper. The thesis-writing course earns 3 credit hours, and should take no more of your study time than the average course. More and more employers are aware of the importance of having employees who have the background and the skills to communicate intelligently with people from this vital region.
