Committee Composition
Theses are reviewed by a committee of three, chosen by the student. Each committee contains a thesis advisor and two additional readers. One committee member must be a tenured or tenure-track faculty member from the FWCB department. Other committee members may be faculty from the University of Minnesota, faculty from other institutions, graduate students, or other community members with experience relevant to your thesis topic.

If any committee members aren’t faculty within the University of Minnesota, they must be approved by the Honors Faculty Representative jfieberg@umn.edu. Your committee members alone will be the ones to approve your thesis and inform the Honors Faculty Representative that you have completed all requirements.
