Students intending to participate in the Research Honors Program will speak with research faculty about available research projects in their major area. The placement of a student in the Honors Research Program is subject to the approval and availability of a faculty advisor. The student will apply for acceptance in the Research Honors Program by the end of his/her sophomore or junior year. Students must agree to a minimum 2-semester commitment to conduct research under the supervision of their faculty research advisor and will register in each semester for 1 credit of SRSH 301 (fall semester), SRSH 302 (spring semester) Total: 2 credits/year.
Following approval by the Faculty Mentor, the student will obtain a registration form from the Registrar (to be signed by their Faculty Mentor and the Dean) and a TAS Research Honors Project form from the TAS Dean’s office (also available below), which is to be completed with the Faculty Mentor and signed by the Faculty Mentor and the Dean.
The student will write a preliminary research paper on the proposed research that has been agreed upon with the Faculty Advisor, and this document is to be submitted to the faculty advisor for approval. Near the end of the project (usually toward the end of the spring semester), the student will write a final research paper on the project outcomes that include the following required elements: Abstract, Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, and References. The Faculty Advisor will submit the manuscript to the Convening Group for approval.The student will be required to prepare a poster to be presented at the undergraduate research symposium or at an external symposium to be approved by the Convening Group. The student is also expected to make oral an presentation on the research project at either the undergraduate research symposium or an external symposium to be approved by the Convening Group. Students fulfilling all the requirements will, upon recommendation of the Convening Group and approval by the Dean of The School of Theoretical and Applied Science, receive a certificate signifying successful completion of the program and earn the designation of ‘TAS Research Honors’. In addition, all students who have satisfactorily completed the Research Honors Program, and have demonstrated aptitude for research, will be nominated by their faculty advisor and inducted as Associate Members in Sigma Xi.
Students electing to enroll in the Research Honors Program for a second year for a total of 4 semesters will earn a certificate with the designation of ‘TAS Research Honors with Distinction’. Students enrolling for a second year of TAS Research Honors who have completed SRSH 301 and SRSH 302 may register for SRSH 401 (fall semester), SRSH 402 (spring semester) Total: 2 credits/year. The same requirements outlined above for first year TAS Research Honors students will be in effect.
Minimum overall GPA of 3.0 is required to register SRSH 301 or SRSH 401 course.
