Honors Program
The honors program is open to Seniors majoring in History who have maintained a G.P.A. of 3.5 in the major and 3.0 overall, and who have completed
HIS 301.
Students interested in enrolling in the History honors program should discuss plans with a prospective advisor to supervise a thesis. This should be done before the beginning of senior year. The student must present an unofficial transcript and a writing sample to the prospective advisor/sponsor.
After gaining consent of the sponsoring faculty member, the student must submit:
- This form, which includes a description of the merits of the planned research (on page 3).
- A written proposal to their supervising faculty member.
The faculty advisor will then submit a statement supporting the student's proposal.
These two actions must be done in the semester prior to the student enrolling in HIS
495. Acceptance into the honors program depends on the approval of the proposal by the
department and confirmation from the faculty advisor that they will supervise your
work.
Once your application is reviewed and approved you will be granted permission to enroll
in HIS 495 in the first semester of your senior year and HIS 496 during the second
semester of senior year. For any additional questions or concerns please contact history_undergrad@stonybrook.edu
