Honors Research

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.

Med Zoology Journal Club

This journal club explores recently published primary research articles that investigate recent findings in zoonotic diseases with a multidisciplinary approach, or "medical zoology." Zoonotic diseases are those originating and/or being maintained in natural animal populations, but which occasionally spill over into human populations. These will likely involve infectious organisms that have a transmission cycle involving another animal species. Course content consists of asynchronous reading of primary literature and coming together as a group to discuss synchronously.

Independent Study

Consider independently exploring a topic of interest under the guidance of a faculty member. Once you identify the subject, take time to research our faculty and their publications. It is important to ensure your interests intersect before asking if they will work with you. This work will be graded and may apply to your upper-level Political Science degree requirements.
