Every semester, the Arts and Sciences Honors Program, in coordination with departments within the College of Arts and Sciences, gives qualified undergraduate students in the College of Arts and Sciences the opportunity to write and defend an honors thesis in an attempt to graduate with Latin honors:Ìýcum laude,Ìýmagna cum laude, orÌýsumma cum laude.
Most students undertake a thesis project within their major (Departmental Honors), but there is also an interdisciplinary option (General Honors).
