NOTE: Students planning on graduating with the option in Spring 2010 or later should be aware that changes are being implemented in the Research Option’s proposal and thesis writing course. The current 2-hour course (LCC 4700) will be replaced by two 1-hour courses (LCC 4701 and LCC 4702) which will better meet the option’s timeline. Students should contact the UROP office or the undergraduate coordinator for the school in which they are receiving the option for additional information. Students who have submitted an online intent form will be provided specific information on the transition via email.
