the honors program at wesleyan If you are planning on writing a thesis or essay for honors consideration we advise you to familiarize yourself with this website, which contains important information and deadlines for honors candidates.  A degree with honors can be earned two ways: (1) Departmental honors will be awarded to the student who has done outstanding work in the major field of study and met the standards for honors or high honors set by the respective department or program; (2) Honors in General Scholarship will be awarded to the student who is a University major, or who is working on an interdisciplinary thesis, or who is working under a department other than the major.  The candidate for honors in general scholarship must fulfill general education expectations and submit a senior thesis that meets the standard for honors or high honors set by the Committee on Honors. The 2009-2010 honors thesis deadline is April 13, 2010. All honors candidates are required to submit their thesis or essay in PDF format for binding, through their Student Portfolio.  Most individual departments also require candidates to submit paper copies of the thesis/essay for their readers.  Questions regarding reader copies should be directed to your department/program.  The Jellybean Papers outline detailed information about writing an honors thesis or essay, including formatting instructions.
