HON 4940 - Honors Thesis

(1-4)
The Honors Thesis is an in-depth, interdisciplinary project of special interest to the student. The student can choose to complete original research or creative work using methods recognized by practicing scholars. In all cases there must be a written product that includes elements appropriate to the relevant disciplines, such as a research question or hypothesis, methods section, discussion of findings, academic argument, etc. The Honors Program requires the project to be interdisciplinary and to posses the depth, quality, or scope indicative of honors work. In consultation with the Honors Director, the student will choose a thesis committee made up of a thesis advisor, a second faculty member reader, and the Honors Director. The thesis advisor will be a faculty member who is grounded in a relevant discipline and who will become the instructor of record.

Prerequisite: Junior standing.
