The Mabel Smith Douglass Honors Program provides outstanding Douglass College seniors with the opportunity to do independent research that leads to an interdepartmental thesis or a thesis in the student`s major field. The research project replaces two academic courses in each term of the senior year. Students must complete both terms in order to receive degree credit. Students with a grade-point average of 3.4 in their major and a cumulative grade-point average of 3.4 overall are eligible to apply to the program during the second term of their junior year.
