Political Honors Program

The Political Science Department’s Honors Program is for qualified juniors and seniors. 

The Honors Program requires:

  • Twelve courses in Political Science (instead of the normal eleven)
  • At least one seminar course in Political Science
  • A two-semester thesis project (during the Senior year) under the guidance of a member of the faculty
  • Students interested in the Department’s Honors Program should have an outstanding record and should talk with faculty about the process during their junior year. Successful completion of the Political Science Honors Program will be noted on the student’s academic transcripts.
