UHP Honors Degree and Honors Degree with Distinction Approved Capstone/Seminar Courses

An Honors capstone course approved for the Honors Degree is meant to summarize and synthesize the previous three to three and one-half years of a student’s undergraduate career. Capstone courses may be either discipline-specific or interdisciplinary courses. These courses may take the form of traditional senior seminars but may also involve research and group projects or any such activity that successfully integrates and synthesizes what the student has learned, and requires reflection on the experience. Though "reflection" can mean both oral and written presentations, we typically see an emphasis in these courses on written work. Independent study courses are not considered Honors capstone experiences because an important part of the reflection incorporates interaction with other students in the course. Capstone courses must be at least 3 credits and must be a graded course, not pass/fail. They may be at the 300 level, but preferably are at the 400 level, and to count as an Honors Degree capstone course, must be taken in one of the last two semesters before graduation.

NOTE: Please see Semester Course Listing to see which Capstone courses are being offered for the current or upcoming term.

CAUTION: In order to count as Honors Degree capstone/seminar courses, these courses must be taken for Honors credit.
