Senior Honors Project

Honors students complete a research or creative-based project of their choosing senior year. The exploratory process of choosing a project begins junior year when students submit a project proposal. Students are expected to identify a faculty mentor to support and guide them through this process. At the completion of their senior honors project, students will have the opportunity to present and share their hardwork with the rest of the Honors community.  The purpose is to get Honors credit for intellectual and creative growth that enriches overall learning and perhaps even bridges with graduate studies or future employment. This is the gem of our program, ENJOY!
