The Honors Thesis and Research Presentation
All honors students are required to complete an honors thesis in order to graduate as a University Honors Scholar. In addition, each student submitting a thesis must present his or her research at a conference or other public venue such as the Honors Research Symposium. This page contains links to all of the necessary forms and information you will need to complete your honors thesis. If you have additional questions, contact Ms. Jennifer Phillips, Assistant Director of University Honors, at jphillips@uwf.edu or Dr. Gregory Tomso, Associate Director of University Honors, at gtomso@uwf.edu.
Regulations/Requirements
The first steps in beginning the thesis process are finding a faculty advisor, identifying a topic, writing a thesis proposal, and submitting it to the Honors office along with a "Proposal Cover Sheet." After your proposal is accepted, you must register for thesis credit hours.
