CJBA 411 Senior Thesis II

3 credits 

This second Senior Thesis course provides structured guidance to thesis-track senior students in the Criminal Justice BA program in the execution of a previously approved research proposal and the production of an academic report. Students will engage in data collection and analysis, evidence-based logical reasoning and argument formation, elaboration of data-informed policy recommendations, and identification of design limitations under a faculty mentor. Academic writing, related documentation processes, and protection of human subjects will also be emphasized. Students will produce the bachelor's thesis at the end of the semester.
