Honors

This course allows students with superior academic achievement to work individually with a professor on a major research project. The topic will be determined by mutual agreement between the professor-mentor and the student. Prior to the first term of thesis work, the student must write a prospectus and get approval for that prospectus from the professor-mentor, the school's executive director, and the Chair of the Committee on undergraduate Honors. The honors thesis may be counted towards the major in Public Affairs. In order to graduate with honors in Public Affairs, the student must graduate with a 3.5 or better GPA in the major.
