Honors Program in Environmental Studies
Students who are majoring in Environmental Studies and maintain a 3.5 overall GPA are invited to apply for the honors program in Environmental Studies. The program will be conducted during their senior year. Students who are interested in the program should contact the faculty departmental Honors coordinator late in their junior year for application materials. A faculty committee will review and select applicants to the program.
Interested? But unsure how to get started with topics for an honors thesis? Our Environmental Studies Librarian, Kristan Majors, and our Undergraduate Studies Coordinator, Carrie Keough, are eager to help you develop your ideas and match you with the right faculty. Also, for help getting started please see the Environmental Honors Research Guide.
The Emory College Honors Program consists of the following requirements:
- The student must complete one graduate level course (500 level or higher). This course must be taken for a letter grade, and must be for four credit hours. The student must get approval from the departmental honors committee for permission to receive credit for a graduate course taken in another department.
- The student must register for two semesters (eight hours) of ENVS 495 (Honors Research). Generally, the first semester will be devoted to research and proposal writing. The second semester will involve completion of the thesis.
- The student must select a committee of at least three faculty members. Two of the committee members must be Environmental Studies faculty, the other must be from outside the department.
- The student must defend their thesis to their committee in time for final submission to the College office. The thesis must be turned in by posted deadlines and conform to College guidelines. The award of Honors, High Honors and Highest Honors will be determined by the committee.
