As a part of the Honors curriculum, students are required to complete a Senior Thesis.  Preparation begins during your Junior year when you are registered for HONR 498 – Honors Capstone Course. During this time you will do research and prepare for the thesis in your senior year. You will then register for HONR 499 – Honors Senior Thesis.
