The senior thesis is a scholarly paper focused on the policy issue in public or international affairs that is of greatest interest to the student. It is based on extended research and is the major project of the senior year. For more detailed information please access the Woodrow Wilson School Undergraduate Program Senior Thesis Manual.

University seniors, in any department, working on a senior thesis topic in public policy or international relations may apply to the Woodrow Wilson School for funding to support their thesis research during the academic year. Research may be conducted during the fall break and the period between semesters. Students who received research grants for the summer may apply again.
