Who is eligible to be a faculty thesis mentor?

Tenure-line faculty under usual circumstances. Career-line faculty under exceptional circumstances such as a very close research match. If a mentor leaves the University they can continue as the mentor or a new mentor can be found.

Are collaborative theses permitted?

A collaborative thesis is one where an Honors student works with one or more collaborators on the thesis.

Collaborative theses are not permitted.

Are joint theses permitted?

A joint thesis is a single thesis that satisfies the requirements of multiple majors.

The joint thesis is allowable for dual majors as long as it is more extensive and makes unique contribution to both fields. For the joint thesis, the Departmental Honors Liaison role is to ensure distinct contribution to their subject area in addition to coordinating with the other Departmental Honors Liaison when needed.

How does the Honors Thesis relate to other aspects for the major?

The thesis must be its own project with separate contribution from any other research work within the major.

Major-specific Thesis Proposal Process

The Honors College requires Thesis Proposal/Registration by the end of the third year. If your major has a separate additional Thesis Proposal Process, it is detailed here.
