All students in the Honors Program are required to conduct independent, scholarly research in their major field of study. During the Honors Senior Thesis Seminar, seniors in the program present their work in the form of an oral presentation to colleagues and faculty mentors, and as a written thesis that demonstrates mastery of the material.
