In completing the thesis option, you will work closely with your major professor and others to conduct an original research project, which generally requires maintaining close proximity to the NAU-Flagstaff campus. This option also involves the writing and oral defense of your approved thesis. (Please be aware that you can only count 6 units of thesis credit toward your degree. However, you may end up taking more units because you must register for ENV 699 each semester while you are working on your thesis.)
