Honors Program

Honors in Anthropology
Majors in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology may earn a B.A.
or B.S. degree with Honors in Anthropology. The Anthropology Honors
Program is available to outstanding senior majors and involves the
preparation of a senior thesis during one of the last two semesters of the
baccalaureate degree program. In order to participate in the program,
students must meet program entrance requirements, identify a project
mentor, and receive approval for a project proposal. Honors will be awarded following acceptance of the thesis by the Honors Program Committee.

Honors Program Description
The program is designed to provide outstanding majors with the
opportunity to pursue an independent research project under the direction of a faculty mentor. The research project may involve any recognized
topic, theory, and method that promises to enhance the honor student's
disciplinary perspective, skills, and creativity. The project may involve an
extension of work initiated in a course, an entirely new project or a
collaborative project with the faculty mentor.
