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; or
- who are in a major that does not have a departmental thesis program.
Proposal Application - Proposal applications for 2009-2010 were due on
Friday, May 1, 2009.
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 01:090:495 in the fall semester and 01:090:496 in the spring semester. A student completing an Interdisciplinary Honors Thesis must also enroll in either an appropriate department-based 1-credit thesis support course for each semester, or in 01:090:491-492, Research Workshop.

SAS Policies
No more than 30 degree credits are awarded for out-of-classroom coursework, such as independent study, cooperative education courses, research, thesis work, 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 out-of-classroom work in any one term must have the approval of an academic dean.
