Hello OSU Neuroscience Faculty Members,
Are you mentoring an undergraduate neuroscience student who is pursuing a thesis project? This page outlines the step-by-step process to help you guide your student through the research thesis process.
Quick Breakdown of the process:
- Discuss and Develop a Thesis Project
- Help Student Complete the Thesis Application
- Have Student, Faculty Member, and Dr. Charlie Campbell sign the application
- Apply: Non-Honors at neurosciencemajor.osu.edu/graduating-research-distinction or Honors at neurosciencemajor.osu.edu/graduating-honors-research-distinction
- Once approved, enroll students into your 4999(H) course via a Course Enrollment Form submitted to NeuroAdvising@osu.edu
- Mentor students to create a thesis manuscript
- Help Student create a Thesis Defense Committee. The details regarding the requirements for this process can be found at aschonors.osu.edu/oralExam
- Have the student submit the thesis manuscript to the committee members at least 2 weeks before the defense date.
- Request Thesis Defense
- Submit the defended and corrected thesis to the Knowledge Bank
