The Honors Thesis is a culminating project for Honors Program students. Honors Theses are discipline specific. The Honors Thesis independent study can be conducted under the guidance of any full-time faculty member at UT. Subject matter for the course will be determined through student-faculty consultation. The course may be taken multiple times for up to a total of 10 credit hours.
Credit Hours: 1-10
Prerequisites
Students must be in good standing in the Honors Program and must have completed 60 credit hours of course work.
The thesis defense course codifies the completion of the Honors Thesis. An oral thesis defense is a public presentation of the student’s final project and is given to the student's thesis committee (director + 2nd + 3rd readers), though the student can also decide to open it up to the public. The standard defense is 45 minutes to an hour long and opens with the student explaining their results/final product and proceeds with questions about the project from the committee.
