Honors Theses/Projects

The Honors Thesis/Project is a 3 semester hour project to be started during the student's junior year and extends into the student’s senior year as a requirement for graduation with honors in Business. The basic objective is to involve students with an approved faculty member on a project which is of mutual interest, and which is sufficiently ambitious to earn three semester hours credit. Each section of the thesis process is graded individually on a normal A-F scale.

The Honor’s Thesis has three distinct sections designed to be split into three parts; however, it can combined into fewer semesters if needed. The first 1 hour seminar is to help the student organize their committee, formulate their research question, and write the thesis proposal. The second 1 hour section is designed for the student to collect data for the project. The third and final section is for the student to analyze the data, complete the written portion of the thesis, and present their findings. Students are expected to submit their thesis for publication with their advisor to an academic conference or journal. Many students have been successful in getting grants to complete their thesis and present at a conference.  [Read more]
