Yes, I will be undertaking the senior thesis sequence in spring of my junior year and fall of my senior year.

No, I will opt to submit a petition to undertake the senior thesis sequence in fall and winter of my senior year.

Committment to 4-course policy*

I hereby commit to taking no more than three (3) courses per quarter in addition to PHIL 398-1,2 while enrolled in honors.

I attach a written petition for an exception to the 4-course policy, approved in writing by my supervisor and the Honors Convener and Committee.

Thesis Type (Please Select One)*

Most students are pursuing single honors. Some students may choose to pursue dual or interdisciplinary honors, which both require an additional application through Weinberg College. Dual honors consist of two separate honors projects. Interdisciplinary honors consist of one thesis, which is interdisciplinary between the two majors. Further information and the Weinberg application can be found on their website here: https://www.weinberg.northwestern.edu/undergraduate/enrichment-opportunities/honors-awards/honors-two-departments.html.
