McCormick Undergraduate (Departmental) Honors Program

I. QUALIFICATIONS

Students with good scholastic records may apply to the Undergraduate Honors Program any time during their junior year. Students must file their Undergraduate Honors program application form with the Undergraduate Engineering Office.

At the time of admission to the program, the student must have a cumulative grade point average of 3.50 or higher. Admission to the program will be confirmed by filing of an HONORS PROGRAM FORM in the Records Office. This form is to be signed by the appropriate advisers.

II. REQUIREMENTS

A student must: 1. Complete at least three (3) units of approved advanced study with a B-average or better. This could be done by taking courses normally accepted at the graduate level. Courses taken would apply only to the undergraduate degree. 2. Complete an extended independent study program (at least two quarters) on the same topic leading to an acceptable report.

III. HONORS PROGRAM ADVISER Each department chairman is responsible for arranging for some person or group within the department to administer the honors program. The person or group defines units of approved advanced study and independent study as well as evaluating the performance of each student at the end of the project and for determining if the definition of success is met.

IV. RECOGNITION Successful completion of the Departmental Honors Program will be entered on the student's transcript. Recognition will also be given in the Commencement Program. In evaluating each student's performance, if it is not judged to meet the standards of success, the student will receive course grades and credits as earned.
