To qualify for departmental honors, a student must have attained, at the end of the junior year, a cumulative grade-point average of at least 3.4 and a grade-point average of at least 3.4 in courses in the major. Preferably by the end of the junior year, but not later than the first week of the senior year, the student must formally apply to the department chairperson for admittance to the honors program. Accepted candidates must complete an Honors Seminar (01:377:480) during the fall term when, under the guidance of the seminar instructor, an honors research project is designed and developed. During the spring term, each student approved by the instructor must register for 01:377:481 Honors Research in Exercise Science, be assigned to an individual faculty member, and carry out the research project designed in the Honors Seminar. Both terms must be completed successfully to receive departmental honors recognition.
