Honors Program (NAS 87) |
|
Open only to majors. Students must formally apply to be admitted to the program. A candidate must satisfy the minimum College GPA requirement of 3.0, have a grade average of at least 3.33 in the Native American Studies courses or other courses applied to the major, and complete the sequence of courses NAS 86 and NAS 87, in addition to the Senior Seminar NAS 81. Students who take both NAS 86 and NAS 87 may count only one course as credit towards the major requirement. By the end of their junior year applicants will ordinarily have completed, with a minimum grade of A-, a preparatory reading course (NAS 85) and will have submitted an honors thesis proposal for work to be supervised by a primary faculty advisor. Admission to the Honors Program is by a vote of the NAS faculty. Students admitted to the honors program must enroll in NAS 86 and NAS 87 in their senior year. The honors project, which normally culminates in a substantial independent thesis, should be submitted to the primary advisor four weeks prior to graduation. Students who complete their senior thesis and earn a 3.33 average or higher in the courses that constitute the major will earn Honors recognition in Native American Studies. High Honors may be granted by a vote of the faculty on the basis of outstanding independent work. Prerequisite: NAS 85, 86, and permission of the faculty member who will be advising the student.
