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.

E&C ENG 499Y is Part 1 of the senior honors thesis or project in ECE, to be followed in the spring by Part 2 (E&C ENG 499T for thesis or ECE 499P for project). Individual student research is directly contracted with the faculty chairs who supervise the work. In addition, all 499Y students participate in a common thesis/project seminar that addresses research-related communication and other aspects of the research process in a seminar/workshop format.

Game of Thrones, Renn fairs, bardcore, The Witcher, Outlander, and the list goes on and on: pop culture can't get enough of the past, or fantastical reimaginings of it. And a huge part of their evocative quality is the soundtrack. But have you ever wondered what music actually sounded like in 1300s England? Or in 1500s France? How about 1700s Americas? Join the Five Colleges Early Music Program's Collegium (large ensemble) and/or Early Music Ensembles(small chamber ensembles) to learn about, reconstruct, and re-sound musics of the past!
