PPE honors

Students who complete their degree with a 3.6 GPA in their major are eligible to graduate with honors, provided they write a research paper suitable for a honors thesis.

A. How to initiate an honors thesis

B. Goals for an honors thesis

C. Information for supervisors

The honors thesis is done in the senior year of the student. A suggested lay-out of the first couple of pages of the final thesis, which is a formal document, is available here. A copy of the completed honors thesis should be emailed to ppemajor@sas and this will also be a de facto submission for consideration of publication to our student journal SPICE, unless otherwise indicated in the email.
