Students wishing to arrange individual or group tutorials with departmental faculty must submit a proposal to the prospective tutor no later than the last day of classes during the preceding term. Priority will be given to senior thesis projects, projects growing out of courses with the tutor and specialized projects of department majors.

 

Religion majors with a B+ (88.3) average in the department may choose to write a senior honors thesis or do an equivalent (two-semester) project. A candidate for honors must submit to the Department Chair a proposal abstract and bibliography stating their preference for an advisor by the last day of April. The department will determine which theses will move forward with which faculty, and may possibly reject some proposals. Students will be notified of the department's decision before classes end in May.  High honors may be awarded after the student's work has been submitted for a departmental colloquium.
