Honors Capstone Experience

The Honors Capstone curriculum provides upper-division students the opportunity to engage in in-depth study of a topic either within or outside of their major degree program and culminates in an Honors Capstone Project.

Capstone Project Pathways

• Research: Research project or senior thesis based on field research, survey research, qualitative research, experimentation, or library or archival research or any other discipline-based research methodology
• Applied: applied or civically-engaged business, non-profit, or curriculum design and delivery project
• Creative: creative work in humanities or the arts, including visual arts, performing arts, music, creative writing, photography or other creative works.

All projects require a written component with critical, research-based, reflective analysis, and all students present their project in a public forum to educate others on their topic. Completed projects are bound and placed in the permanent collection of the James A. Michener Library, and Honors students also are encouraged to submit their final written project for inclusion in a scholarly journal, such as 麻豆传媒鈥檚 undergraduate research journal. During their Honors Capstone experience students work individually with a faculty mentor to strengthen their research, writing, creative, and presentation skills.

Transcript Designation

Students who complete the Honors Capstone Project without participating in the full University Honors experience will receive an "Honors Capstone" designation on their transcript.

The Honors Capstone is also embedded in the full University Honors program. Students who complete the full program earn recognition at commencement and a designation of 鈥淯niversity Honors鈥� on both their transcript and diploma. See the University Honors tab for details.
