About the Honors in the Major Program

What better way to complement your education than by capitalizing on the opportunities for research and creative activity in your academic department?

As a research institution rooted in the liberal arts tradition, Florida State University encourages students to explore the intellectual perspectives of many disciplines and to dig deeply in a a specific field. By engaging in the rigorous work of writing an honors thesis, students have an unparalleled opportunity for hands-on learning under the skilled guidance of a faculty committee. Upon successful completion and defense of your honors thesis, you will graduate "with honors" in your major- a distinction that is announced during the commencement exercises and is posted on your official transcripts.

We encourage you to explore our website to learn more about our program policies as well as to learn about funding opportunities for undergraduate research and the recent activities of our current students and alumni.

Students who are interested in beginning an honors thesis are required to review the Tutorial to learn about our program policies and procedures before meeting with the program coordinator.

ALL STUDENTS WHO INTEND TO ENROLL IN THE HONORS IN THE MAJOR PROGRAM MUST CONTACT THE PROGRAM COORDINATOR BEFORE REGISTERING FOR THESIS HOURS.

Please send an email with your appointment availability to HITM@fsu.edu.
