Most academic departments have criteria in place for students seeking departmental honors. Students who wish to demonstrate excellence in their field of study should consult the department chair for requirements. Upon successful completion and departmental affirmation, students should follow the guidelines below for submitting materials to the library. Departmental Honors are recorded on each student's official transcript.
Guidelines for Submitting Honor Theses

The thesis MUST include the signed approval sheet indicating that the paper has been accepted for partial fulfillment for departmental honors before it is delivered to the Library. It is the responsibility of your Honors Advisor or Departmental Chair to provide you with this form.
