Honors Reading and Research

These courses offer students of superior academic achievement an opportunity to work on a major research project in the field of Sociology. Projects will be determined jointly by the instructor and students and may involve concentrated reading in a particular area, participation in an ongoing research project or both. The thesis also requires in-depth and original research of an empirical and/or theoretical question in the chosen field. The degree with honors is conferred upon acceptance of the honors project by the Committee on Undergraduate Honors. Application for the course should be made by April 1 for the fall term or November 1 for the spring term.
