Department Honors

The Department Honors program provides special opportunities through independent study for the intellectual stimulation and development of superior students in certain departments and interdisciplinary programs. Students in this program may, as the result of distinguished work, be awarded a degree with "Honors," "High Honors" or "Highest Honors" (some departments only grant the single award of Honors in Research - check with the department for details). This honor is noted on the student's academic transcript.
