Faculty and graduate students traditionally have conducted most research in higher education. Recently, the benefits of undergraduate research have been acknowledged. The Boyer Commission (1988) called for research-based learning including a thesis that would demonstrate a student's ability to think clearly and to communicate ideas in an effective, integrative manner. The Kellogg Commission called for learning, discovery, and engagement by academic institutions (2002). The Undergraduate Research Community (URC) for the Human Sciences was developed to encourage undergraduate research (Mitstifer, 2002). A manual, "Senior project manual: A guide to the undergraduate thesis" (Labhard, Morris, & Hoadley, 2002), can be used to take students through the research process and scholarly writeup. It has been used successfully at a public and private institution, and in all disciplines of FCS. The manual guides students through development of a contract and five chapters cover the formal report (introduction, review of the literature, procedure, results, and conclusions). Students prepare a formal research report; the manual itself is presented using APA style. It is a resource to support undergraduates as they work with faculty to develop a research project.
