Honors Thesis (3 total hours)
- HHS 495 (Capstone in Human Health Sciences): Students can choose one of two assignment options to satisfy their honors thesis/capstone credit: 1) Update and revise your HHS 454 research paper proposal and research poster, OR 2) Extend a project or assignment completed in your HHS 495 Capstone course (discussed by your instructor). Regardless of your assignment option choice, you will earn the honors thesis credit through the HHS 495 Capstone course. You must earn an A or B on the assignment(s) to satisfy this requirement. We will work with the honors program to notify them that you’ve satisfied this requirement upon completion.
