REL 85.02 Senior Colloquium for Honors Program
Open to senior majors only; by permission only. In order to qualify for the Honors Program in the Religion Department, the student must have at the time of application an average of 3.0 in all subjects and 3.3 in the major. The interested student should, in consultation with a faculty adviser, decide on a course of study, reading, and writing and should then present these proposals in a petition for Departmental approval no later than the end of the Spring term of the Junior year. During two terms of the senior year, the honors student will pursue the project under the guidance of a faculty adviser by enrolling in REL 85.02 (Culminating Experience) and REL 87 (Honors). The student is expected to produce a substantial thesis as the culmination of the project. REL 87 may be taken either before or after REL 85.02. See also the Requirements for the Major, Honors Program, in the ORC.
Students are awarded one course credit for successful completion of this course at the end of the second term of work. Students register for REL-087 and receive a grade of “ON” (ongoing) at the end of the term. Students do not register for the subsequent term. A final grade will replace the “ON” at the end of the subsequent term at which time the coursework must be completed.
