Students with cumulative
grade-point averages of 3.0 or better and averages of 3.4 or better in courses
taken for the major are eligible to do honors work. Honors students must
complete a distinguished two-semester independent essay or project in
connection with enrollment in 495 and 496 in their senior year. They also must
satisfactorily pass an oral examination administered by the American studies
faculty, based largely on the essay or project. Students are encouraged to
speak with an adviser in their junior year to discuss a program of study and
schedule of work.
