Honors in History
Beginning in the Fall of 2009 the History Department will offer students the opportunity to graduate with honors in History. To graduate with honors a student must have a 3.25 overall grade point average and a 3.5 in History courses; Honors students must also complete an Honors Thesis. Students will take an Honors Thesis course that involves individual work with a faculty member, is worth 3 credit hours, and will count as part of the 30 hour requirement for the History Major. The thesis will be a research project done under the direction of one faculty member, and the topic must be approved by a Thesis Committee consisting of that faculty member and two others. A recommendation by the Thesis Committee is required for the student to graduate with honors.
