This course is taken in the spring term of the senior year and comprises the second and final phase of the Senior Thesis in Economics, International Relations, International Affairs, Comparative Politics, or American Politics. Cadets enrolled in SS498 normally will complete their major's integrative experience course (SS477 or SS492 for Economics, SS483 for International Relations, SS486 for Comparative Politics, or SS481 for American Politics) in the fall semester of their senior year, where they will complete a prospectus, literature review, annotated bibliography, outlines, and initial draft of their senior thesis. In the International Affairs Major, cadets will conduct their literature review and prospectus defense in SS489. In SS498, students will continue work on an independent study basis with their thesis advisor and committee, conducting further research and updating drafts to produce a final written thesis product generally ranging from 30-50 pages in length. Students defend their thesis before a committee in the last two weeks of classes.
