HON 199A Honors Thesis

Open only to students admitted to the Honors Program, the Honors Thesis Seminars are courses designed to guide Honors Scholars in their final requirements of the Honors Program. These courses must be taken consecutively. The Honors Thesis course ordinarily should be taken in the students’ senior year, though it may be done sooner in some circumstances. The Honors Thesis will allow students to use their accumulated skills and knowledge to execute a thesis project such as a research study, documentary film, or a program or business plan design, etc., from a multi-disciplinary perspective, including work in at least two different areas or disciplines. The execution of the Honors Thesis will vary dependent on the students’ academic preference. Upon the completion of the Honors Thesis, students will present their projects, findings, and results to the greater University community in an oral presentation format. In addition to the work designated towards the Honors Thesis, this course will prepare students for their transition out of Mount Saint Mary’s University through leadership and professional skill building, graduate school/career preparation, etc.
