Honors Project
The honors project is a three-credit independent study, HP 405, that may be either a research-based or creative endeavor. The topic is proposed by the student with the assistance of a project advisor of the student’s choice. The topic must then be approved by the Honors Program Committee, a committee of interdisciplinary faculty, led by Dr. Harney-Mahajan and Dr. Sigurjonsson.
