To qualify, a student must have attained, at the end of the junior year, a cumulative grade-point average of 3.0 and a grade-point average of at least 3.4 in courses required for the major. Preferably by the end of the junior year, but no later than the first week of the senior year, the student should apply formally to the chemistry undergraduate executive officer for admittance to the chemistry honors program. A student with an undergraduate cumulative grade-point average of at least 3.0 and a grade-point average between 3.0 and 3.4 in courses required for the major also may be admitted upon review by the Undergraduate Research and Honors Committee. Accepted candidates are expected to complete at least 3 credits per term in an independent research project (01:160:497-498), to write a paper on their research, and to make an oral presentation at the end of the senior year.
