CIS Senior Honors Thesis A (CIS-0194)

Fall 2025 · CIS 0194 · Tufts University · 4 credits · Undergraduate

Arts, Sciences, and Engineering students who wish to write a senior thesis outside their major area of concentration may be eligible to write a CIS senior thesis. The student must satisfy the CIS board that the topic falls outside the purview of any department or interdisciplinary program and that significant course work and/or faculty directed research relevant to the thesis topic has been accomplished. The student must assemble a committee of three faculty readers with expertise in the disciplines involved, one of whom is designated as the chair of the committee and who is responsible for submitting a grade and designating the amount of credit for the thesis course work.One member of the committee must be from a department or program in which the student is majoring. The topic must be approved by the CIS board no later than the end of the first week of classes in the first semester of the student¿s senior year. Students who would like to be recommended for degrees with honors by departments that require a thesis should be aware that these departments require a thesis within their own department and a CIS thesis will not usually count as a substitute. However, students may apply for a CIS thesis to count as an honors thesis in the Thesis Honors Program like a thesis in any other discipline by assembling a thesis committee and filing the appropriate paperwork. If the CIS thesis is to qualify as an honors thesis, the chair of the thesis committee must be from a department or program in which the student is majoring.For more detailed information, please visit the Web site http://ase.tufts.edu/cis/.
