Description:

HON 499 is a one-credit add-on to students' existing capstones. By taking this course, students are effectively honorizing their capstones, expanding upon and further developing work done at the end of their major programs. Students will transform their capstone experiences to an Honors Thesis or Honors Project. This broadens the trajectory of students' capstones to include interdisciplinary elements from the core curriculum, channels their work to exceptional academic or professional rigor to further their careers, and gives students the opportunity to communicate their work in a professional setting with required presentations. Course Objectives Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to: (1) Analyze and/or solve complex issues and problems. (2) Produce professional quality communications: written, oral, and graphic communications, including effective and ethical use of social media. (3) Conduct quality research or scholarship. (4) Demonstrate critical and creative thinking through independent inquiry. (5) Practice self-initiated learning.
