THE LHU GLOBAL HONORS PROGRAM

CAPSTONE PROJECT PROPOSAL

Junior-Senior Honors culminates in a Capstone Project. The Project is supervised by a Faculty Director (usually in the student’s major discipline) who is joined for purposes of final evaluation by a Second Faculty Reader (representing a different discipline from the Faculty Director) and the Honors Director. The project may be completed in either semester of the senior year for a total of 3-6 semester hours credit, which will be taken as independent study. While many projects will take the traditional form of the senior thesis, acceptable alternatives include art exhibits, performances, and works of fiction. However, all projects will involve a significant written component and will culminate in a public presentation and defense for faculty and students. The successful presentation will communicate the results of a specialist’s inquiry to a general audience. This form must be completed and approved prior to registration for independent study.
