Honors Research
The Honors Program offers a number of opportunities for undergraduate students to work directly with faculty members on research projects for credit. In some cases these experiences may be inspired by the successful completion of an Honors Contract. The following opportunities are generally more rigorous and specific to a student's academic field of study. View a summary of the three types of Honors Research. You can also view a list of examples of Honors Research by Department/School.
All Honors Research experiences are credit generating. Students register for additional credit hours and are charged tuition accordingly. Tuition rates can be calculated using the Tuition and Fees Calculator.
Students completing any of the following Honors Research Experiences might consider participating in the University Research Symposium.
