The SAS Interdisciplinary Honors Thesis is the option for students:

  • who are interested in a topic that spans more than one academic discipline
    (students may be double majors)
  • who want to complete a research project in a field other than the major
  • who are in a major that does not have a departmental thesis program

Proposal Application - Due Wednesday, April 30, 2008

Students who are interested in a senior thesis through their major department's thesis or honors program should contact the major department for more information and application procedure.


The Interdisciplinary Honors Thesis is a two-semester independent research project, 3 credits each semester, which culminates in a written thesis and an oral defense before a faculty committee. Students must submit a proposal for approval.

Upon approval of the proposal, a student will register for 01:090:493 in the fall semester and 01:090:494 in the spring semester.

There are four deadline dates for the Interdisciplinary Honors Thesis:

Wednesday, April 30, 2008 Proposals Due

All students completing an SAS Interdisciplinary Honors Thesis will be considered Paul Robeson Scholars. For more information, please see the Senior Honors Thesis website.

SAS Policies

No more than 30 degree credits are awarded for out-of-class work, such as independent study, cooperative education courses, research, and approved SAS internship courses. In those uncommon cases where credit may have been awarded for life experiences, these credits are viewed as out-of-class work. Students wishing to register for more than 8 credits of independent study in any one term must have the approval of an academic dean.

For more information

Please contact Dean Muffin Lord at lord@sas.rutgers.edu or 732-932-7964.
