What kind of project must I complete in order to be eligible for Honors in Independent Study?
Honors projects are coherent programs of independent work carried on by students, usually in their senior year, on subjects or problems of more than ordinary difficulty in areas that they have studied in considerable depth, usually in their majors or closely related disciplines, Honors projects normally culminate in written theses based on extensive individual research or in pieces of original work in the creative or performing arts accompanied by a short written presentation. In the case of musical compositions or plays, the work is usually performed; art works must be publicly exhibited.
