SW 481 - Senior Social Work Thesis

3
Usually taken concurrently with SW-480 and SW-482. Students must have successfully completed SOC-461 before taking this course. Having completed their research proposal in SOC-461, students learn how to complete their research project and write their senior thesis. Students learn to conduct qualitative and quantitative research projects. They obtain IRB approval if necessary. They then conduct the chosen research, analyze their findings and write their results and discussion sections. After completing those sections, they combine all of the elements of their thesis paper from the fall and spring semesters into an integrated whole with references, appendices and acknowledgments. The final project is turned in as a culminating experience.
