*NOTE Dept 499: Both courses should be taken in the major department and might count towards the degree.
Please consult your academic advisor for specific degree requirements. One course should be taken the first semester
of the senior (final) year and the second one should be taken in the semester when the thesis will be defended and
the degree awarded. A defense of the thesis should be scheduled at an appropriate time in the second semester of the
senior year and allow sufficient time for final thesis revisions, formatting and submission. This must occur at least
12 days before grades are due and before the start of exams. If the thesis is not defended in the second 499 course,
the option of an I or X grade can be given and a defense scheduled as soon as possible. No Honors designation will
be awarded until all thesis work associated with both 499 courses in the major department is completed. All senior
theses are presented at a senior showcase the day before graduation. Each senior MUST prepare a poster and attend
this even to receive their hood.
Lower Honors Electives (9 cr hrs) One MUST be taken in the spring semester.
