Graduate with Departmental Honors.
Graduate with Departmental Honors.
The department of Biological Sciences offers students the ability to complete a departmental honors program. Students who successfully complete the program can earn honors that will appear on their transcripts and diplomas.
To obtain honors, a student must finish with a cumulative GPA of 3.25 or higher and a 3.5 GPA in their major. Students must also complete a major project, typically research and present their results in a written "Honors Thesis." Project topics can range from research into any aspect of life on Earth to how we educate students in Biology at the K-12 or undergraduate level (especially useful for students with the Secondary Education concentration).
