Major Requirements for Students Pursuing Latin Honors
ANTH 1003V - Understanding Cultures: Honors
ANTH 4013V
There are two options in the department, but Honors students must do the Independent Capstone Option in order for it to count as both the Honors Thesis and the capstone. All students start with ANTH 3993, a one-credit capstone planning course. Further information on this sequence is available on the Anthropology Website.
A summa thesis must include a public presentation. It is also expected to comprise original research, conducted at the highest level, and completed with exceptionally good writing.
All theses must be approved by a three member committee. At least one committee member (not necessarily the advisor) must be a tenure-track faculty member at the University of Minnesota, and at least one must be affiliated with the department in which the thesis is conducted.
