Undergraduate Honors Program in Sociology 

Honors Program Overview:

Students graduate with honors in sociology after the successful completion and defense of an honors thesis. A thesis is a piece of original research and writing on a topic chosen by the student and agreed upon by his or her thesis advisor. Students typically enter the honors program in the fall semester of their senior year, and take two semesters of honors course credits (3 credits per semester). Each honors student is responsible for identifying a faculty advisor who will serve as their primary mentor. Students are expected to meet with their faculty advisors on a regular basis throughout the year. In addition, honors students meet monthly as a group (and with Dr. Reed) to identify problems or concerns, chart progress, and provide support for one another.

Requirements: Students interested in the honors program:

• Must be sociology majors
• Must have a minimum overall GPA of 3.3, with a sociology GPA equal to or higher than 3.3.
• Should have completed a range of sociology courses
• Should have taken at least one theory and one methods course
