Honors

The department invites a number of qualified majors to participate in the Honors Program. To be eligible, students must have completed the two required courses, 211 and 282. Usually candidates for Honors devote from three to five hours to independent work in each of their last two semesters and submit a written thesis. Senior Sociology Majors are asked to submit a written proposal (to the department chair) to participate in the Sociology Honors Program at the end of their junior year. Students may elect to enroll in Junior Honors, with the consent of a faculty member, in order to conduct preliminary research for the Honor’s proposal. Students are not formally accepted into the Honors Program until the research proposal is approved by the department. The level of Honors is determined by the thesis grade, assessment of oral presentation of the project and major GPA.

Honor's thesis are available for your review on OhioLINK EDT Center.
