Undergraduate University Honors Capstones

University Capstone Honors is the heart of the Honors Program. Capstones allow honors students to develop into highly competitive prospects for top-tier graduate schools or employers.

Beginning as early as the sophomore year, students take six upper course honors credits (via contracts, advanced consortium courses, or graduate courses). In the spring of their junior year, students develop their capstone proposal, identifying what they want to do, how they want to do it, and who they want to work with.

Students work closely with faculty mentors to develop a project worthy of a top graduate. The variety of projects ranges from creative writing to fine arts to research-based projects to service learning. What matters, though, is not the kind of project but the level of expectation: Students must demonstrate adequate knowledge or skill to carry out an advanced project, whether through a major or equivalent life learning and experience.
