College Honors

Students who meet all three of the following requirements may be invited to expand their senior comprehensive requirement project for College Honors:

1. Earn an A or A- on their fall semester thesis.

2. Have demonstrated excellence in their departmental courses.

3. Meet the GPA requirements of at least 3.25 overall and at least 3.65 in the major.

Students working towards College Honors will continue in spring semester to work independently with their Comps advisor, enrolling in a required 2-unit Independent Study, to complete their Honors thesis in advance of the Registrar’s spring deadline for the submission of senior comps marks. The Honors Thesis will be evaluated by the  advisor and a second History faculty reader. For further information, contact the department chair.
