Interested in applying to the Senior Honors Program? Learn more about eligibility, potential project topics and important deadlines.聽

Eligibility to enter the program is based on three criteria:聽

  1. Student must have a major in Dietrich College, either as a primary or an additional major; or be in the BHA program.
  2. Cumulative QPA through the end of the junior year of at least 3.25 overall, and 3.50 in the Dietrich College major associated with the proposed project.
  3. Departmental sponsorship in the form of an agreement by a faculty member to serve as advisor for the 2-semester/18 unit Honors project (graduate students may not serve as advisors; adjunct faculty may do so, but only in collaboration with a regular faculty member), and approval by the department head.

Project topics have included traditional research studies, analytical syntheses of research trends in a discipline, or such creative works as poetry or essay collections, full-length novels, and original screenplays.

While most students choose a topic within their primary or additional major, students may propose a topic that falls outside one's major. Students should be aware that faculty who agree to supervise these projects hold their students to very high standards, and would assume that (regardless of major) students have a sufficiently extensive background to pursue the topic proposed. Therefore, students proposing a topic outside of their major should be prepared to demonstrate the extent of that background when approaching prospective faculty advisors.

Most projects begin in the fall semester and end in the spring. It is possible to begin in the spring semester or summer session, if necessary. Students select a project timeline when they apply to the program. The deadlines for application submission, and submission of the completed thesis, depend upon the project timeline selected, and are as follows:

Project Start DateApplication DeadlineThesis Submission Deadline
Fall SemesterLate MarchApril 30
Spring SemesterLate OctoberNov. 30
Summer Session (one or two)Late MarchVaries, depending on the semester during which the thesis is completed

A number of events and requirements come with participation in the Dietrich College Senior Honors Program:

  • In the fall, Dietrich College hosts a dinner for Senior Honors students and their thesis advisors.
  • In addition to the 2-semester/18-unit senior honors thesis course sequence, Dietrich College Senior Honors students register for one of two sections of 66-400, Honors Colloquium, in the fall semester. 66-400 is a 1-unit course that meets bi-weekly during the fall semester. This course is used for supplementary programming for senior honors students through which, among other things, faculty share insights from their research experiences, senior honors students report on and receive feedback about their thesis projects, and special guests discuss topics broadly relevant to the senior honors experience (e.g., making public presentations; applying to graduate school; or harnessing the significance of one鈥檚 senior thesis project during a job search or interview).
  • In late spring, Dietrich College Senior Honors students are required to fulfill a presentation requirement by participating in the university's Meeting of the Minds Undergraduate Research Symposium. This may be done as a poster presentation, or formal presentation, about their thesis projects.
  • On Saturday morning of Commencement Weekend, Dietrich College Senior Honors students participate in the College鈥檚 Senior Honors Convocation and receive the purple honors cord (to be worn on Commencement Day). This cord signifies successful completion of a Dietrich College Senior Honors Thesis, and graduation with Dietrich College Honors.

Senior Honors Research Fellowship Program

This program provides summer funding support to rising seniors in the Dietrich College senior honors program as they undertake early-stage research and development of their thesis topics.
