Honors in Sociology
Each year, a number of
Sociology majors are selected by the department faculty to pursue
graduating with Departmental Honors. Students are selected from
among those with an overall DU GPA of 3.0 and a GPA within the Sociology
major of 3.25.
To win the designation of
Graduation with Honors in Sociology, selected students must successfully
complete a Senior Honors Thesis. The guidelines for completing the
thesis are as follows:
-
Student must select a
faculty member from the Department who will agree to act as Thesis
Advisor.
-
Student will submit a
thesis proposal to the Thesis Advisor for approval before October 15
of the senior year.
-
Students wishing
course credit for thesis work should register for Research Practicum (SOCI
2611, 2612, 2613, 2614) for one or more quarters during the senior
year. The Thesis Advisor will act as the designated instructor
for the Research Practicum.
-
The completed thesis,
once approved by the Thesis Advisor, must be submitted to a committee
of three faculty by April 1 of the senior year. The committee
will consist of the Thesis Advisor and two other faculty, one of whom
may be from another department within the University of Denver.
-
During the month of
April, the Thesis Advisor will schedule a one-hour meeting between the
student and the faculty committee to discuss the thesis and its
implications for the discipline.
-
Students successfully
completing the thesis as determined by the faculty committee will be
recognized at the University Awards Ceremony in May, and in the
Commencement Program. "Departmental Honors" will be
designated on the student's official University transcript.
Students wishing further
information should contact the Department Chairperson.
