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.
