Honors-Elective Course
A student, enrolled in a non-honors 300- or 400-level course
within a major or minor discipline, may "contract" for honors
credit. The student should approach the professor before the end of
the second week of the term, and the professor and student must
prepare a learning agreement for the honors-credit work. This
learning agreement must be signed and approved by the student,
professor, department head, and by the coordinator of the Honors
Program. Upon completion of the course and the honors learning
agreement, the professor notifies the honors program and an honors
designation for the course is added to the student's transcript.
Student teaching, internships, and field-experience or off-campus
based courses are not generally considered for honors-elective
designation, because, by their nature, they are already intense,
self-directed experience or they do not allow for the close faculty
mentoring, expected in the elective experience.

Honors Thesis/Project
A Thesis/Project is an independent study designed for in-depth
investigations of a specific topic or a creative work in the area of
the student's interest. Its principal objective is to provide
experience in research (or creative activity) and the analysis
required for reaching conclusions/decisions. The Thesis/Project may
be a creative work, an essay, report of experimental research, or
any other rigorous academic exercise originating from experiential
education. The Thesis/Project should be a culmination of four years
of intellectual exploration of thoughts and ideas, artistic works
and expressions.
