The English Honors Program, which is jointly sponsored
by the Department of English and the University Honors Program,
offers a valuable educational experience for qualified students
who wish to enhance their undergraduate education. Students enrolled
in the program have the opportunity to investigate a topic of genuine
interest to them and to work closely with a Senior Honors Project
adviser of their own choosing. The HonorsProgram also offers special
Honors seminars and tutorials that allow students to work across
disciplines and develop their research skills in intimate classroom
settings. Through participating in these courses and the Senior
Honors Project, students receive the benefits of a small liberal
arts college experience combined with those offered by a large research
university. After meeting the departmental and university Honors
requirements, students may earn the B.A. degree with Honors, High
Honors, or Highest Honors.
This program is ideal for students who: love to
read and write, enjoy working independently, seek valuable preparation
for graduate schol, wish to enhance their applications for jobs
or graduate school, enjoy small classroom settings, and want to
work closely with a faculty member who shares their intellectual
interests.
