Acceptance into the Honors Major requires a 3.0 overall grade-point average (GPA), a 3.4 GPA in the major, and an approved research proposal. In addition to meeting all of the requirements for the standard major, students must complete a yearlong research project in their final year. Students who successfully complete 01:830:497,498 Honors Research in Psychology (3,3) plus 01:830:490 Honors Research Seminar (1) will be designated Honors Research Scholars in Psychology.
The purpose of the Honors Research Seminar will be to: a) introduce the honors students to each other; b) assist students in their honors projects; c) assist students with future plans for graduate school or jobs; d) assist students in preparing for the Graduate Record Examination, applying for National Science Foundation fellowships, scholarships, and other awards; e) train students to make formal presentations using PowerPoint and other software; and f) provide enhanced content through guest speakers that may include faculty, graduate students, or fellow honors students. This seminar will be organized and supervised by the chair of the Honors Committee or another faculty member designated by the chair.
