The Department's Honors Program offers academically talented
students a more advanced and challenging educational experience
related to the study of families. The program provides opportunities
for involvement in scholarly independent study, intensive
interaction with faculty, and examination of a range of family
topics in greater depth than is possible in the normal program
of study. Students enroll in special Honors courses, Honors
option work in regular courses, and independent research.
The program culminates with the presentation of a Senior Honors
thesis. Students are recognized at graduation for their superior
achievement in Family Science. Additional information can be found here and by contacting:
