English Honors Program

The Department of English Honors Program provides an opportunity for outstanding English majors to do intensive research in areas of special interest. In order to qualify for the honors program, a student must have a minimum cumulative and major 3.0 GPA. Students participating in the honors program enroll in ENGL 4550  and ENGL 4555  in consecutive semesters of their senior year. After extensive reading on a topic of his or her choice and appropriate consultation with an advisor chosen from among the senior faculty members, the student submits a paper on a topic related to his or her reading and takes an oral examination covering the area of the research.
