| Requirements |
Two Honors Level Projects
Honors students take the same courses as others in their degree program but must complete an honors level project in two courses of their choosing.
 Most often it involves a research paper of eight or more pages. The project may also be a creative work, if the course lends itself to do that. For example, students have written a short screenplay in a Film and Fiction course. In order to be credited with fulfilling the Program requirements, students must earn a B+ or better in both thecourse and the honors project.
HON200 - The Honors Seminar
The course fulfills all elective types (Liberal Arts, Humanities, Social Science, or Open) and uses video-conferencing to connect students on both the Danvers and Lynn campuses. |
