Departmental honors also are awarded to those students maintaining a

requirements for the Henry Rutgers Honors Thesis, the Mabel Smith
Douglass Honors Project, the Paul Robeson Project, or the University
College Honors Program. Interested students are encouraged to apply at
the department toward the end of their junior year. More detailed
