Major Requirements for Students Pursuing Latin Honors

Common Honors Courses in Major

Many honors students choose to fulfill honors course requirements through their liberal education requirements or taking graduate level courses

Required Thesis Course

HCol 3101H or HCol 3102H

Capstone Considerations

The Honors thesis does not count as the capstone for any BMus Degree.

Thesis Requirements

Students writing summa cum laude thesis must produce a scholarly paper comprising some form of original thought, and must pass an oral exam with the three members of the thesis committee.

Plan C Thesis Options

Students may complete another written document—an original musical score, augmented program notes for the student’s recital, a suite of pedagogical materials, and so — apart from a traditional research paper so long as there is some framing/contextualizing language that situates this project within the body of relevant existing work. Plan C projects are not eligible for summa cum laude.
