Honors Program in Women's Studies

The Women's Studies Honors Program is designed for Women's Studies majors who would like to engage in original work resulting in a written, multimedia, or creative honors project, completed under AWSS 495 (3 credits). The student must submit the project in completed form in the senior year to be eligible for recognition at graduation with a special Honors Certificate.

To be eligible to apply, a student must have completed at least 12 credits of course work toward the Women's Studies major and must maintain a minimum overall grade point average of 3.25 during junior and senior years as well as a minimum of 3.50 grade point average for all courses applicable toward the major. (If the GPAs fall below those levels, the student's courses in the Honors Program will still count toward the Women's Studies major.)

To be admitted, a student must submit the Honors Program Application Form to the Women's Studies Department office late in the sophomore year or anytime junior year. Junior transfers may apply at the time of their admission to the University or as soon as they are eligible, based on the list above. The application form may be obtained from the department office (Social Science 341).
