• The Honors in the Major (HIM) Program is coordinated by the Honors College and a committee within the College of Education.
  
  
• HIM is designed to encourage the best junior and senior students to undertake original and independent work in their major field.
  
  
• Students design an Honors thesis or project while working in close conjunction with a faculty mentor from the student's major program or department who serves as the Thesis Committee Chair, and a small committee.  It is the student's responsibilities to identify a faculty mentor and initiate process.
  
  
• Work in this program is usually begun during the junior or senior year.
  
  
• Benefits of the HIM Program for students include graduating with Honors in the Major on your transcript, receiving the Honors Medallion , which is worn with the academic regalia at Commencement, the chance to work closely with a faculty mentor and prepare for later research and scholarly endeavors.  Students accepted into the HIM Program are eligible to apply for annual scholarship awards.
