Honors Program. An Honors Program is available to Sociology and Sociology-Organizational Studies majors who have demonstrated excellence in their field of study. To be eligible for the program, students must have a grade-point average of 3.500 in the major and the recommendation of a faculty sponsor familiar with their work. In addition to meeting the standard major requirements, students are encouraged to take a 199 course with their sponsor in the spring of their third year, prior to the seminar courses. The honors student writes an honors thesis and participates in a two-quarter honors seminar (course 194HA-194HB). Successful completion of the Honors Program, when combined with College GPA requirements, enables the student to graduate with Highest Honors or with High Honors. Applications for the program are due in August before the student begins their fourth year.
