Student Research
PBC Students in the Shakespeare Garden (from left): Diane Huebner (2009), Rachel Gross (2008), Lauren Umek (2007), Ben Staehlin (2009), Andrea Southgate (2007), Alona Banai (2008), Tracy Misiewicz, Eva Dubey (2008), Rosemary Bush(2008), Duane Ambroz, Joe Gawronski-Salerno (2008), and Glen Madeja.
Students are required to present the results of original research in the form of a written thesis to a faculty committee. To facilitate this process, students will take two units of Independent Study (PBC 499) with a mentor(s) of their choice. This will allow students to develop and begin their thesis research project. Before entering the program, students are encouraged to contact faculty with whom they are interested in working.
