For example, many schools facilitate student-teacher contact and courses in order to work on investigation related to their careers and interests.

This decision was made after student representaives made evident the negative impact a mandatory thesis had in students that perhaps have different interests than their thesis advisors. Recent surveys have demonstrated that not only has the amount of investigation, therefore entrepreneurship, increased but seniors in both majors have in their job perspectives stay in campus with their projects.</span></p>
