Honors Thesis Forms
While the student's Thesis Committee has the responsibility of judging whether the work meets the standards and expectations of the particular major or majors, Newcomb-Tulane College also exercises oversight over the thesis project through a series of required forms.
Honors Thesis forms are submitted in digital format. Digital forms will be accessed via the Frevvo platform using Tulane's Single Sign-On (SSO) credentials.

A full statement of the topic for the thesis, including a 3-5 page discussion of relevant research in the area, the scope and/or methods, the importance of the project, and a preliminary list of references. The prospectus form must be digitally signed by the first and second readers (or co-directors). To view sample prospectuses in different disciplines, please click here.
A draft of a chapter (10-15 pages) or equivalent portion of the thesis. This will vary across disciplines; students should consult with their first reader (thesis director) or co-directors to determine the appropriate format and length of the submission. Note that the first chapter (or its equivalent) should be considered the minimum at this stage and that in most cases students should have completed more than this. The first progress report must be digitally signed by the first and second readers (or co-directors) and the third reader.
At this point, one third of the thesis should be submitted to the readers, and this form must be signed to signify their approval of the work in progress. The second progress report must be digitally signed by the first and second readers (or co-directors) and the third reader.
A document signed by the first, second, and third readers (or co-directors and third reader) recognizing successful completion of the Oral Defense and indicating any revisions that must be made before final submission of the Honors Thesis. The Oral Defense Report also collects metadata for the NTC Honors Thesis Digital Repository.
