The honors education culminates in the writing of an honors thesis. Through this thesis, students demonstrate mastery of their field of study, along with the ability to think creatively and independently.

Students admitted to the program after freshman or sophomore year are not required to retroactively fulfill the requirements for those years. Please note: All students are required to satisfy all junior and senior year requirements.
