The Honors Thesis
The Honors Thesis is a written document that summarizes the student’s individual research effort conducted under the supervision of a tenured or tenure-track member of the INEG faculty. This research may or may not be funded by the faculty mentor. The written document and a corresponding oral presentation (defense) must be approved by the faculty mentor and a second, tenured or tenure-track member of the INEG faculty. The Honors College has an ongoing program that is a good source of funding for Honors College students to pursue their undergraduate research. The title page of the Honors Thesis should be in the following format: Title Page Format
