The
DEPARTMENTAL HONORS PROGRAM is open to
Spanish majors who have completed the required nine upper division core courses with a 3.5 grade-point average. Eligibility is verified by the departmental counselor. Two honors projects and an honors thesis are required to graduate with departmental honors, students must first complete an honors project in each of two of their upper division Spanish elective courses. The honors project is a 12- to 15-page term paper on a special topic, selected in consultation with the instructor, to be completed in addition to the normal course requirements. On the basis of the coursework and special interests, students then consult a faculty member in that field and formulate a research project which they pursue under the faculty member’s guidance through Spanish 198. Students research and write an honors thesis (not to be confused with an honors project) of approximately 25 pages on the special topic. Approval of the honors thesis is the final requirement for departmental honors.
