Your experience in Franciscan’s online Bachelor of Arts in Clinical Psychology program culminates in a senior thesis or senior seminar, where you examine an area of psychology that sparks your interest. These interests guide you in developing a focused topic for deeper academic and professional exploration through your thesis or seminar.

If you’re double-majoring, you may choose an integrated topic that draws from both fields of study. Whether through a written senior thesis or an oral seminar presentation, you’ll immerse yourself in a subject of your choosing.

These projects strengthen your research, analysis, and communication skills and help you discern where your academic and vocational passions may lead.
