• W254667722 abstract "ABSTRACT Financial support of undergraduate thesis work is assumed, both by the administrators who provide it and the faculty members who oversee it, to provide an incentive for undergraduates to complete their theses. At Butler University two different academic units supervise this process: the Honors Program for thesis oversight and the Butler Institute for Research and Scholarship for funding oversight. We have seen that the effect of financial support for undergraduate thesis work can become obscured when two separate programs are involved in the process. Thesis support at our University was examined by and from the perspective of both programs over a period of seven years. BACKGROUND There is logic to the presumption that institutional funding support for student theses will provide reinforcement of the thesis preparation process and yield a higher proportion of completed theses. Support can come in the form of summer stipends for full-time work on a project, thesis grants for supplies and/or travel to perform research, and money for scholarly meetings and presentations. We have been fortunate to have support in all three areas at Butler University through the Butler Institute for Research and Scholarship (BIRS). However, until this review, such funding allocations had not been examined to determine if they are actually successful at helping the Honors Program or BIRS achieve their desired goals pertaining to student research and scholarship. The goal of the Honors Program is to meet the expectations of academically outstanding students in all colleges and majors who wish to develop their talents and potential to the fullest. Through a combination of honors courses, cultural events, independent study, creative activity, and research, the program is designed to foster a diverse and challenging intellectual environment for honors students and to enhance our academic community by adding a distinctive variety of innovative thinking and interdisciplinary dialogue. BIRS has the following goals for funding undergraduate student research: supporting student attraction to and accomplishment in conducting creative and research projects. To that end, Butler University has made funds available to aid such endeavors. Specifically, there are two types of grants available to Butler students: the Travel-to-Present Grant (TTP) and the Undergraduate Thesis Grant. In addition, students can apply to the Butler Summer Institute (BSI). The goals of BSI are to provide an opportunity for selected summer scholars to engage in a research project that is investigative, creative, and experiential, to interact with Butler faculty, and to build a community of learners. BSI students receive a summer stipend for nine weeks of concentrated research and creative activity on our campus. We believe that the strongest intersection of BIRS and the Honors Program is found in the thesis project--a requirement for completing the Honors Program. Since 1924, completion of the Honors Program (and thus the thesis) has been required, along with the requisite cumulative GPA, for students who wish to graduate from Butler University magna or summa cum laude. Departmental honors at graduation have also been awarded since 1968. A student may elect to complete the requirements for University/Latin honors, for departmental honors, or for both. An honors thesis is also required for highest departmental honors. Butler has a one-student-one-thesis policy, so students wishing to produce a thesis for departmental honors must make sure that it will be accepted by the faculty of the appropriate discipline. The Honors Program oversees the thesis process for all students at Butler University. For the purposes of this study, a completed thesis for either departmental or University honors (or for both) will be counted as one in the same. How are we to measure success in financing the undergraduate thesis process? …" @default.
