Senior Honors Program
|
The senior honors program is designed to facilitate independent research on topics chosen by the student and pursued in particular depth. Qualified majors will be invited to participate in the honors program. Minimum qualifications are junior standing (completion of at least 105 units), completion of at least 20 upper-division units in anthropology, and a grade-point average of at least 3.4. Anthropology 104 and/or Anthropology 140RM are recommended, but not required, as preparation for the program. |

| Students may enter the program any quarter. Each candidate for honors enrolls in Anthropology 195A-B, taken in consecutive quarters, under the instruction of a thesis advisor chosen by the student. In Anthropology 195A, the student will concentrate on reading and gathering material for the thesis; in 195B, the student will write the thesis. The senior honors thesis will be retained permanently in the department office for faculty and students to read. Anthropology students who complete the honors program, maintain grades of B or better in Anthropology 195A-B, and graduate with a minimum 3.4 grade-point average in the major will be awarded Distinction in the Major on university records and on the diploma. College of Letters and Science Honors Program Students enrolled in the College of Letters and Science Honors Program will be eligible to enroll in special honors discussion sections in most lower-division anthropology courses. See the Marisa Dumpis, undergraduate advisor for more information. Further information on the Undergraduate Program can be obtained by writing to: Department of Anthropology
