Sociology Honors Program
The department invites qualified majors to apply for the Honors Program to conduct independent, mentored research during their senior year. To be eligible, students must have completed SOCI 301/ SOCI 302 by the end of their junior year and have a GPA of 3.4 or higher. The total amount of work spent in the Honors Program will normally be one full course per semester.
Senior sociology majors are asked to submit a written proposal to the department chair to participate in the Sociology Honors Program at the end of their junior year. Students are not formally accepted into the Honors Program until the research proposal is approved by the department.
The level of Honors is determined by the thesis grade, assessment of oral presentation of the project, and major GPA.
Honors theses are available for review on OhioLINK’s EDT Center.
