Honors

Students wishing to prepare an Honors project must have achieved an overall GPA of at least 3.2 and a GPA in the major of at least 3.4. The student must also have senior standing and have completed at least seven courses in the major. A student who qualifies for Honors will, working with a faculty member, present a research proposal to a department honors committee for approval. The student will also enroll in E&GSCI 498. The department Honors Committee (3 persons) will decide on the quality of the final paper and whether it qualifies for honors, after the student has presented a final project.
