Honors Senior Project Prospectus Form (General) | Honors Program

The Honors Senior Project form is due halfway through the semester, approximately 1 year prior to graduation. If you are graduating in 4 years, it is generally due in the 6th semester. If you are graduating in 5 years, it will be due the 8th semester. Of course, students may always submit the form ahead of this timeline. See the Honors Program website for current dates each semester. NOTE: if you are completing the senior project requirement through an approved Honors capstone course, you need to instead complete the Prospectus for Approved Capstone form.

To complete this form, students will need to provide a brief overview of the planned senior project, a timeline for completion, and contact information for the student and her/his faculty mentor (sometimes also called a thesis/senior project advisor). Students MUST receive agreement to the project and timeline from the faculty mentor before submitting this form. The faculty mentor will be contacted to confirm this information and her/his willingness to supervise the thesis or senior project.

Please see the Honors Program website for more information, including resources to help you get started on the thesis/senior project. If you have questions about the thesis/senior project, please contact Tamy Burnettin the Honors Program office.
