The Honors senior project is a two-semester capstone that coordinates with your major department. Students begin planning their capstone in their third (Junior) year when they begin developing a project proposal. It is highly recommended that you take an Honors course or a course in your department, as appropriate, to begin working on your proposal. In your fourth (Senior) year, you complete your research, creative work, and writing for your project.
Key requirements:
- Project proposal that is approved by your faculty mentor (end of Junior year)
- Capstone classes – two consecutive semesters (6 credits). If your major department requires a capstone, then you will take 1-2 capstone classes from your major department, and the rest from Honors, to make 2 classes total.
- Submit your capstone to Honors and have it approved by your faculty mentor plus one additional faculty (committee member).
- Present at the Undergraduate Showcase
