The Honors Program curriculum culminates in the Honors thesis, a directed undergraduate research project designed and completed by an individual student under the guidance of a faculty member working in his or her area of expertise. Depending on the field in which the work is being done, an Honors thesis may take a variety of forms: e.g., traditional library research, an original piece of quantitative or qualitative research, an exhibit or performance accompanied by a reflective, analytic essay, or a substantial work of fiction, drama, or poetry.
