The thesis requires not only that students review and synthesize related literature from academic and professional journals but also gather and analyze data and information in support of a particular hypothesis. The senior thesis is developed under the guidance of a principal faculty professor. The thesis is typically 30-60 pages in length. However, the page count is not as important as the contribution of generating new evidence or analysis on a particular topic.","cbCaiuqau29h0PfZ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiuqau29h0PfZ","pdf",144829,"English","# Sophomore Year\n## Fall Semester\n## Spring Semester\n# Junior Year\n## Fall Semester\n## Spring Semester\n# Senior Year\n## Fall Semester\n## Spring Semester\n# Summer Intersession\n## Study Abroad and Electives\n# Semester Break\n# Course Descriptions for Minor\n## POLI 347 - Supreme Court on Civil Liberties\n## ECON 315 - History of Economic Thought\n## ECON 370 - Econ Theory & Applications in Public Policy\n## FINC 370 - Financial Markets & Institutions\n## BLAW 400 - Regulatory Environment of Business\n## IDST 499 - Senior Thesis (Optional)","[{\"question\":\"What does the optional IDST 499 senior thesis require?\",\"answer\":\"Students produce original research on a political economy topic by reviewing and synthesizing related academic and professional literature, gathering and analyzing supporting data, and developing the thesis under a principal faculty professor; it is typically 30–60 pages.\"}]","Sophomore to Summer Curriculum Courses - Smith Scholars Program Core (Course Sequences) | PDF",1790655340]
