QSS culminating projects

Posted on May 15, 2019 by Laura M. Mitchell

As part of their graduation requirements, all students majoring in Quantitative Social Science must complete and present an independent research project.  These projects are either honors theses or one quarter projects.  This year, ten QSS students have written theses, and they are defending their research this week and next.  All QSS thesis defenses are public, and the presentation schedule for Spring 2019 is as follows.
