Thesis format

Primarily traditional long-format; however, its final form and content depend on the discipline or department in which the student's thesis advisor is housed.

Who is eligible to be a faculty thesis mentor?

A faculty thesis mentor must be a member of the University's research-active faculty (either tenure or career line) with a demonstrated record of scholarly publication and with expertise in the chosen subject area. Co-mentors are acceptable, where appropriate, to meet these criteria.

If a mentor was to leave the University, the DHL will help the student find a suitable replacement.

Are collaborative theses permitted?

A collaborative thesis is one where an Honors student works with one or more collaborators on the thesis.

No.

Are joint theses permitted?

A joint thesis is a single thesis that satisfies the requirements of multiple majors.

Yes.

How does the Honors Thesis relate to other aspects of the major (e.g., a Capstone Project)? What departmental coursework supports the thesis?

None.
