The Department of Political Science offers the opportunity for students to earn honors within the major. To meet the requirements for departmental honors, students complete an original research project, defined
here as a full-length (35 page) scholarly paper or an applied project, which
combines research with policy analysis, professional experiences, or civic
learning exercises. Completing the project exposes students to advanced course
content, provides the chance for students to engage in rigorous research, and gives
students a unique opportunity to work closely with political science
faculty members.
All honors students will be
expected to present their project findings at a spring event organized by the
Department of Political Science.
To graduate with political science honors, a student must enroll
in 50:790:394 Honors Research to be supervised by a faculty member.
