Honor Capstone Project Notes

  • Students in the Honors program must complete the honors capstone project to complete the honors minor. The honors capstone project is the culmination of the Honors experience. Students will work with a faculty mentor to design and carry out the project. Students may complete a research thesis, online portfolio, experiential-based project, creative/performative project or an innovation project.
  • Projects should be conceptualized as a project that cannot be completed within the confines of one class or one semester. This means that the project should be sufficiently broad in scope and in-depth in analysis. Students can select one of five options for the honors capstone project.
