Involvement in the honors thesis will not exceed six credit hours and will be noted on the student?s transcript as _ _ _ 499. Honors thesis hours need not count toward the maximum hours allowed in a major. A student wishing to do the honors thesis should consult with her major advisor and the director of the honors program early in her junior year. The honors thesis must be completed, in a form specified by the major department, no later than three weeks before the end of classes. The thesis is evaluated and an oral examination is conducted by a committee made up of the student?s major advisor, another member of the major area concerned, and a faculty member from another academic area.
