The thesis is based on an original research problem developed in conjunction with that faculty member. Successful completion of the thesis (B+ or higher) will result in the conferring of a BA with honors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students must pass 6 credits (2 semesters: 136.510 and 136.511) of honors thesis to earn honors in the archaeology major. These credits are in addition to and exceed the number of credits needed for the major.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students who are interested in pursuing an honors thesis should begin to discuss possibilities with a faculty adviser as early as possible, and no later than during the second semester of the junior year. The faculty adviser must approve a proposal for the thesis before the student registers for the courses, and no later than the end of the second semester of the junior year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The student will work closely with the faculty adviser, setting a timeline for completing research and submitting drafts of the thesis. A full draft of the thesis is due by the end of March of the senior year, if the student wants to be listed as receiving honors on the commencement program. The final version of the thesis must be handed in by the last day of classes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Undergraduate Program in Archaeology offers both a major and a minor.
