To qualify, a student must have completed 18 credits in labor studies. The student also must have attained a cumulative grade-point average of 3.0 or better and a grade-point average of 3.4 or better in the major at the end of the junior year. At that time, the student should formally apply to the director. Candidates who are accepted are required to complete a research project under the direction of a faculty member, culminating in a written honors paper, and are examined orally on their project by a faculty honors committee.
