As part of this committee, the student must enlist a faculty member who will also act as a thesis advisor. This poses a problem, as there are now only 23 full faculty members for over 100 potential senior thesis writers. This dearth of advisers is aggravated by a general lack of psychology faculty, so even those professors who are available to advise are often already carrying the burdens...

Advisers should never discourage thesis writing or imply that it would impose too much of a burden on the department or its faculty. It is daunting enough to have to devote an entire year to research; students’ dedication to such an intensive project should be their...
