A student will be eligible for departmental honors in philosophy or
religion (pending approval) by fulfilling the following special requirements in addition
to the regular requirements for the major:
1. Obtain a 3.5 grade-point average in the courses required for
the departmental major and a 3.0 cumulative grade-point average in the
entire undergraduate program.
2. Enroll in an independent study in philosophy (50:730:495,496) or religion
(50:840:389,390), and prepare an acceptable honors thesis of
approximately 20-30 pages. Students should consult a faculty adviser about the Independent Study if possible prior to their senior year.
In recognition of the
satisfactory completion of the honors program, a student's permanent
record will receive the notation: "Honors in Philosophy" or "Honors in
Religion."
Students seeking departmental honors should contact
the department chair or their departmental adviser at the
beginning of their senior year.
