Students who have a minimum GPA (cumulative and in sociology) of 3.5 may request that their senior thesis be considered for honors. Two faculty members (at least one of which must be in the sociology field group) must evaluate the research project and make a recommendation to the Sociology Field Group. In the case of combined majors, one faculty member from each field group must evaluate the project. Eligible students should begin thinking about an honors thesis at the end of their junior year and discuss their ideas for a thesis with two faculty members at the beginning of their senior year.
