The Honors Liberal Arts Seminars look to the future as students examine the material with a view to the plans they are making for their lives after graduation.

0 C3 credits All Honors students must complete the Senior Thesis, a year-long project designed to bring about and to demonstrate intellectual mastery and to encourage the integrity and coherent responsibility that only a complex project can elicit. Students must agree with their adviser on a topic by mid-October of their senior year. In the spring when the student and adviser are satisfied that the thesis is ready for presentation, the thesis is given to readers before whom it is defended.
