<p>Is anyone planning on applying (or already applied) for the College Honors Program?</p>
<p>Does this involve a thesis at the end? Or is it just honors coursework by completion of necessary units? I'm confused... This is different from the Individaul Major Program (Honors), right?</p>
<p>I'd greatly appreciate it if someone could explain the honors program to me. I've logged onto their website and read the info, but I'm unsure how the program works. (Side Note: I think transfer students need 28 units of honors courses.)</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>Good question...did you look under your major though in the catalog? That would have specific info for you. And yes, I applied for the Honors program. Will write back later when I've investigated more. I'm curious as well.</p>
<p>I just checked my major through the catalog like you suggested. </p>
<p>It says and I quote: "The honors program provides exceptional students with the opportunity for individual research culminating in an honors thesis. Requirements for admission include a 3.0 overall grade-point average and a 3.2 GPA in the life sciences core curriculum. After completion of all requirements and with the recommendation of the faculty adviser, the undergraduate affairs committee confers departmental honors at graduation."</p>
<p>So, I think I answered my own question. So a thesis is required along with the research and a presentation in front of the affairs commitee. Wow, I thought it was only honors course units. Now I don't know if I want to do this... The dread of writing a thesis!</p>
<p>Oh, it's a piece of cake! I look forward to it....lol. Anyway....yes, so there is departmental honors and then you need to check out of the honors for your school as well. Is that also L & S?</p>
