Thesis Proposal Form

Please read the Honors Thesis Guidelines before beginning your application.

Please fill out the form in its entirety. Failure to give the proper information about your project may result in the application's rejection. Some theses require research/travel funding, but not all; if the cost questions do not apply to your project, write N/A where required.

What happens if a student finishes their coursework but not the thesis?

If a student finishes HON 100, all Idea Labs, and all Dialectics but fail to finish the thesis, then they must take

 i. Spartan Studies Core Humanities course - 4 credits

 ii. Spartan Studies Social Science course - 4 credits

 iii. Spartan Studies Visual and Performing Arts Distribution course - 4 credits

Finishing these 3 Spartan Studies classes but failing to finish the thesis will mean that the student does not graduate with Honors (but they will graduate with their degree if they meet all other major/Spartan Studies requirements).
