The honors program is open by departmental
permission to Geography and Regional Planning majors with at least a 3.25 GPA in
total university coursework and a 3.25 GPA in Geography or Regional Planning
courses. After completing 57 credits, all qualified majors will be invited to
join the Geography or Regional Planning Honors Track. Social Studies Education-
Geography Track majors are encouraged to participate, with the realization that
participation will require more than 120 credits. Students complete CHSS 489
Honor Colloquium (a multi-disciplinary colloquium emphasizing problem-solving,
discussion, reading, and writing on a topic or theme); GEOG 483 Honors Thesis or
RGPL 483 Honors Thesis; and HNRC 499 Honors Senior Synthesis, which fulfills the
Liberal Studies Synthesis requirement. Students must maintain a 3.0 average in
the track. To determine how Honors Track courses will be integrated into
existing requirements for the Geography or Regional Planning major, students
should consult their academic advisors.
To apply, students must submit a letter of intent that includes a two-page
self-statement describing the student's academic and career goals. Two Geography
and Regional Planning faculty members must endorse the student's application. |
