To qualify for departmental honors, a student must have attained, at the end of the first semester of their 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. By the end of the first semester of the junior year, the student must formally apply to the department chair for admittance to the honors program. Accepted candidates must complete an Honors Seminar (01:377:480) during the spring semester of their junior year when, under the guidance of the seminar instructor, an honors research project is designed and developed. During the fall semester of their senior year, 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 semesters must be completed successfully to receive departmental honors recognition.
