Senior Projects

The Capstone Experience

Honors College seniors culminate their undergraduate experience with a yearlong effort that may take one of two forms:

(1) Students may take the capstone course, a theme-based course in which students may work collaboratively on a common project or complete an individual research project on a subject related to the course theme.  Recent themes for the capstone course have included “Democracy and the Public Sphere,” “Contemporary Constitutional Issues,” “Contemporary Global Issues,” and “Culture and Biology;” 

OR

(2) Students may elect to complete an individual thesis, not part of an organized course, supervised by a faculty member.  The project may be focused on a student’s major area of study or may reflect a special interest or talent of the student outside his or her major.  These projects often are either of publishable or of exhibition quality, and thus give Honors College graduates credentials that ordinarily are characteristic only of advanced graduate students.
