Departmental Thesis Requirements

Primarily traditional long-format; however, its final form and content depend on the discipline or department in which the student's thesis advisor is housed.

Each academic department submits the specific requirements that must be met for a successful Honors thesis in its respective major. If you are seeking more information on your department’s thesis requirements, please contact your Departmental Honors Liaison and/or the Honors Thesis Team in the Honors College.

Faculty Thesis Mentors

A faculty thesis mentor must be a member of the University's research-active faculty (either tenure or career line) with a demonstrated record of scholarly publication and with expertise in the chosen subject area. Co-mentors are acceptable, where appropriate, to meet these criteria.

If a mentor was to leave the University, the DHL will help the student find a suitable replacement.
