Research: How to Get Involved
On Campus: Formal Classes
Departmental
Honors (499): Offered in all departments and required
for students to graduate with honors (6 hours over 2-3 semesters)
499 is a scholarly project in the major, directed by a faculty member
in the major department, and reviewed by a faculty committee. The
student must summarize the research in a formal paper and defend
the project to the faculty committee. The Honors Program oversees
the application for departmental honors and coordinates paperwork
between student, faculty, chair, dean and registrar (evaluation
of hours and GPA). The Honors Scholars Program offers Departmental
Honors preparation workshops each semester and the director acts
as a general advisor to help direct students toward possible faculty
supervisors if requested.
Directed
Individual Study (491): Formal class in all departments
(491) available for juniors and seniors to take to develop research,
scholarship, and inquiry skills. In Chemistry, there is a 291 course
so that freshmen and sophomores may also begin research. The deans
oversee the application and registration process.
