The Commonwealth Honors College thesis or project is intended to provide students with the opportunity to work closely with faculty members to define and carry out in-depth research or creative endeavors. It provides excellent preparation for students who intend to continue their education through graduate study or begin their professional careers. The student works closely with their 499Y Honors Research sponsor to pursue research on a topic or question of special interest to them in preparation for writing a 499T Honors Thesis or completing a 499P Honors Project.

Honors Thesis expectations are high. The intended end-product is a traditional research manuscript with accompanying artifact(s), all theses:

- are 6 credits or more of sustained research on a single topic, typically conducted over two semesters.

- begin with creative inquiry and systematic research.

- include documentation of substantive scholarly endeavor.

- culminate in an oral defense or other form of public presentation.
