An Honors thesis offers the opportunity for the author to present their own research and findings. Such a level of academic writing is required in the majority of graduate programs and is valued by employers. You will become an expert on the subject of your topic, having completed independent and substantive work. To be eligible for an Honors sub-plan in Comparative Literature, students should have a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.4, and a 3.5-grade point average in courses counting toward the major. Students who elect an Honors degree will write an Honors Thesis during the final year of their course work. See the Honors Thesis Guidelines for more information.
