Honors in GSWS
Students with an overall GPA of 3.4 or better and 3.6 or better in the major are eligible to apply for Honors in the major in their junior year.
Honors students will take:
- the 3 required courses
- 5 courses in a concentration and 3 elective courses
- or 8 elective courses without a concentration
- 2 c.u.’s for writing a thesis. A one-semester seminar will be taken in the fall to aid students in research design, methodology, and getting their projects off the ground, while the spring credit will be entirely devoted to research and writing. The Associate Director/Undergraduate Chair of the program will staff this course and will work with Core and Affiliated faculty to connect students with thesis advisors.
