The Honors Program affords the opportunity for qualified students to engage in supervised independent study in areas of their interest. The student designs and carries out an individual research project under the supervision of a faculty sponsor and the Honors Program Committee, culminating in a thesis written APA style and a defense of the thesis before the Honors Program Committee. Students attend a research seminar in which research proposals and final papers are presented orally.

Eligibility for the Honors Program in Psychology includes: Completion of PSYC 317, 318W, and 497; as well as nine additional hours in psychology (PSYC 487 & 488 are not included in these hours); a 3.50 GPA in the psychology major (with no grades of "Incomplete"); and a 3.25 cumulative GPA. Detailed guidelines regarding admission to the Honors Program are available in MGB 246.
