Honors Projects

Honors-in-Course/Honors-in-Field projects offer eligible students, by invitation of an instructor or mentor, the opportunity for in-depth investigation of a subject or development of a special program or service. Presentation before an audience concludes the project.

Honors-in-Course Projects

Students should work with their course instructor to develop a project extending the course topic that furthers the student’s knowledge in the course subject area. The project should be sufficiently challenging and not a normal part of the course. Successful completion requires an “A” on the project and at least a “B” in the course. Students should initiate the project, work with their instructor, and submit project proposal paperwork, including appropriate signatures, to the Honors Coordinator. Instructors will be responsible for working with the student and submitting project completion paperwork.

Honors-in-Field Projects

Students should work with a mentor or advisor to develop a project extending their knowledge of their major field. The project should be sufficiently challenging. The project should not be an existing course substitution. Successful completion requires an “A” on the project. Students should initiate the project, work with their advisor/mentor, and submit project proposal paperwork, including appropriate signatures, to the Honors Coordinator. The advisor/mentor will be responsible for working with the student and submitting project completion paperwork.
