No points are needed for thesis. During preregistration, you will enter "GS391" in both thesis blocks you are assigned. All full-time faculty in the Economics and Business Department will supervise thesis students. If you want to work with a specific professor as your Thesis Advisor, contact them to indicate your interest. Check out this list of Faculty Thesis Advisor Areas of Interest and Research.

Submission

Economics & Business Department theses are turned in via online submission through Digital CC Thesis Submission. Log in using your normal CC single-sign-on credentials and complete the entry fields to submit your thesis.

Sometimes your thesis will load, but the platform gives an error message so be sure to check if it did load. Search Digital CC submitted theses, just in case.

If you need help troubleshooting submitting your thesis, take a look at this Tutt Library Research Guides: Thesis Submission Guidelines web page. Contact Cate Guenther at x6875 {(719) 389-6875} with questions or if the system is not working. Then be sure to email the PDF version of your thesis to Cate Guenther and cc your thesis advisor with an explanation of the difficulty.

It is best practice, due to the "glitchy-ness of the process at this time," even if you believe you are successful with uploading your thesis, to email your thesis advisor the PDF version of your thesis. 

Presentation

Each year the Economics & Business Department holds its annual Spring Research Symposium on the first Friday of Block 8, as an opportunity for all students who have created research during the academic year to present their research. 

Many thesis students are required to present their thesis for a grade and many faculty thesis advisors will expect that presentation to occur at the Symposium.
