All students, including Honors students, complete SMGT 3881W. Honors students do not work on their thesis in this course.
A summa thesis must comprise an original research project with a public presentation, whereas cum laude or magna cum laude theses require only a systematic literature review with no public presentation. The summa thesis also has increased evaluation expectations. Please see the document titled Guidelines and FAQs for Kinesiology Students in the University Honors Program for additional information and answers to frequently asked questions. You will also find thesis-specific details in the School of Kinesiology's departmental Honors Thesis Evaluation Form.
All students will choose a thesis committee comprising at least three members, a thesis advisor and two additional reviewers. Students are responsible for identifying a thesis advisor who will agree to supervise their thesis prior to submitting their thesis proposal. At least one member—not necessarily the thesis advisor—must be tenured or tenure-track faculty at the University of Minnesota, and at least one member must be affiliated with the department in which the thesis is conducted.
