Honors Thesis Projects may take different forms depending on the student's interests, disciplinary affiliations, and career goals. Students in the Sociology, Health, Society & Policy, and Family & Consumer Policy departments have done laboratory experiments, analyses of observational data, historical research, policy analyses, program creation, and artistic creations to satisfy the Honors Thesis requirement.

Regardless of topic and methodology chosen, students must demonstrate experience in their field, command of relevant scholarship, and an effort to contribute to that scholarship. Below is an example of a thesis project. You can find more by clicking here.
