Requirements for the Honors Degree
A student enrolled in the Multimedia Web Design &

to earn the designation of University Honors on the diploma:
1) At Least 18
Credits of Honors Work
This requirement can be satisfied by enrollment in the following courses:
6 credits of Honors
sections of General Education (e.g., an Honors section of RPW
110, Pol 100, Phil 110) or Honors sections
of All-University Curriculum (AUC) courses or “Contract
Honors” courses.
6 credits of Honors seminars (specially designed
300-level courses listed in the Honors section of the schedule of
classes). Two or three seminars are offered on varied topics each
semester. Students with the permission of the MWD&D Honors
Committee may substitute a 300- or 400-level "Contract Honors" course
for one of the seminars.
A 6-credit Honors thesis (HON 493 Honors
Research and HON 494 Honors Thesis) or a 6-credit University
Scholar independent project approved by the MWD&D Honors Committee.
2) An Overall Grade Point Average of 3.25 and a 3.0 in Honors Course Work.
Suggested Timetable
Freshman Year: Take one or two Honors sections
of General Education or AUC courses (3-6 credits).
Sophomore Year: Take one Honors section of
General Education or AUC courses if you did not take two in the
freshmen year (3 credits) or take one Honors seminar (3 credits) to
count as an elective. If an Honors seminar can count toward your major,
that will be indicated in the course description in the schedule of
classes.
Junior Year: Take your second or both of the
Honors seminars (3-6 credits). In the spring, decide if you want to do
an Honors thesis or University Scholar project. Select a topic and find
a faculty member who will direct your thesis/project.
Senior Year: Take HON 493 (3 credits - fall) and
HON 494 (3 credits - spring). These are the course numbers you sign up
for to do either the Honors thesis or the University Scholars project.
Total: 18 credits
