Undergraduate Honors Thesis

About the senior honors thesis.

An honors program is available to IS majors who have demonstrated their ability to perform distinguished work. The Honors Thesis allows exceptional students in the undergraduate major to demonstrate the ability to treat a problem in a substantial and scholarly way.  Students write an honors thesis on a topic related to information science and defend it before a faculty committee.  They may graduate with honors or highest honors; this designation is printed on the final transcript and diploma.

Registering for an Honors Thesis at SILS

Registering for Honors at SILS requires an application . The application should be submitted to the Undergraduate Student Services Manager prior to  April 1 during the year in which the student plans to register for INLS 691H.

To conduct an Honors Thesis in Information Science, students must complete INLS 691H (offered in the Fall) and INLS 692H (offered in the Spring).  To be considered for admission into this course of study, students must meet the following course requirements and submit an application.

Course Requirements

The requirements for conducting an Honors Thesis in Information Science include having taken at least four INLS courses, including two numbered higher than 299, and having a total INLS GPA of at least 3.5.  The student should have an overall GPA of at least 3.3.

Application & Schedule

Prior to april 1st (effective for the fall semester).

•  Provide a list of all courses taken by the student, along with the grades earned in those courses.  A print out from Carolina Connect is sufficient documentation.  Students are not required to request an official transcript from the registrar.
• Create a one-page proposal including a one paragraph description of the research topic, several questions related to the topic (i.e., what you want to discover or learn), and a short list of approximately five sources related to the topic. Also, add the name of the SILS faculty member you would like to serve as you advisor on this document.
• Gather the name of a SILS faculty member the applicant would like to serve as his/her advisor.  (It is required for the student to talk this over with the faculty member first and ensure they are in agreement to advise your Honors Thesis)
• The application will be submitted using the following form: SILS BSIS Honors Application 
• The advisor and the DUS, in consultation, will decide whether the student will be permitted to register for INLS 691H, and also whether the proposed advisor will serve as the Thesis Advisor.
• Once approved, you will be enrolled in INLS 691H for the Fall semester.

Prior to your registration period for the Spring semester

• If satisfactory progress is made, you will submit the Courses Requiring Instructor Permission form to be enrolled for the corresponding course
• Once approved, you will be enrolled in INLS 692H for the Spring semester
• Submit your final project to the Honors Carolina office by the required deadline; failure to submit your final Honors thesis will result in you not receiving Honors recogntion on your official record – Honors Carolina

Course Sequence

The honors program consists of two courses:   INLS 691H – Research Methods in Information Science, and INLS 692H – Honors Thesis in Information Science. INLS 691H will be taken in the fall of the senior year.  In this course, each student selects a research topic of interest, learns about research methods, and writes a research proposal.  Assuming satisfactory completion of INLS 691H , students register for INLS 692H in the spring of their senior year.  You must submit the form Courses Requiring Instructor Permission prior to your registration period to be enrolled for INLS 692H

Each student should select a thesis advisor based on mutual interest in the topic, and the availability of the faculty member to advise the student during the thesis work.  The student and advisor should meet regularly to discuss the student’s research and writing.

• The student’s thesis advisor, chosen when submitting the Honors Thesis application
• A second reader, identified jointly by the student and advisor, and
• The SILS Director of the honors program (Director of Undergraduate Studies)

The thesis must be completed and circulated to the thesis committee by the end of March, and the oral defense of the thesis must take place in the middle of April (exact dates will be based on the registrar’s calendar for the year).  The final approved copies of the thesis must be submitted to the SILS office; the due date will be communicated to those in the honors program, and it is always before the end of the semester.

Students who complete a high-quality thesis will graduate with honors; those whose thesis is exceptional will graduate with highest honors.  The SILS Director of the honors program will assemble all thesis advisors and second readers to evaluate the theses to be considered for honors each year.

Honors Thesis

“What I enjoy most about completing an honors thesis is the ability to delve into a topic of my choosing; the freedom to study whatever I fancy, purely for the love of education. I highly enjoy my right to fill my own education with a topic I truly love. “

– Kelly Pope, Class of 2015

Senior honors thesis  work is a specialized form of independent study that allows students to partner with a faculty advisor to complete an original and substantial research project. Many students consider this work to be the capstone of their undergraduate studies in their major department. Honors research proposals represent a serious commitment to extensive study and mastery of material, and should be developed in close consultation with the advisor. An honors thesis is usually a research paper; however, it may also take the form of a performance or film, as deemed appropriate by the student and his/her faculty advisor. All senior honors theses in the Department of Communication must include a written component, the scope and format of which will be determined by the project advisor.

Students who successfully complete and defend their honors theses will graduate under the designation “with honors” or “with highest honors.”

Eligibility

Students completing senior honors theses must have a cumulative GPA of at least a 3.300 at the beginning of, end of, and at all points during, the two semesters that they work on their projects.

An honors thesis involves two semesters of independent research for academic credit: COMM 693H in the fall of senior year and COMM 694H in the spring of senior year (or for students graduating in December: COMM 693H in the spring and COMM 694H in the fall semester immediately prior to graduation). Students who wish to begin work on their senior honors theses before this time may do so; however, they will not be able to begin earning academic credit until they are officially enrolled in the two-semester sequence as outlined above. Per University policy, students cannot be enrolled in senior honors thesis coursework during summer sessions.

Students completing the honors sequence will take a total of 6.0 credit hours (3.0 for COMM 693H and 3.0 for COMM 694H), which count towards elective credit for the major. Students should expect to devote a minimum of nine hours per week during both semesters of the honors sequence.

Thesis Advisor and Committee

Work on the honors thesis is done with mutual consent between the student and the faculty advisor. It is the responsibility of the student to seek out and find a faculty advisor. Faculty members are, generally, more willing to advise an honors thesis project when they have a prior relationship or experience with the student. Faculty members are also more willing to supervise a project if they have a professional interest in the project topic.  Students are encouraged to begin conversations with a faculty member about honors thesis projects during their junior years. When approaching potential advisors, students should bring an outline of what they plan to do for their projects, as well as a brief explanation of why they are interested in pursuing an honors thesis.

Tenured and tenure-track faculty, postdoctoral fellows with teaching appointments, and fixed-term faculty who have been employed by COMM for at least one year may serve as senior honors thesis advisors. Advisors must have a permanent or adjunct appointment in the Communication Department. Graduate students may not serve as thesis advisors.

After finding an advisor, students need to assemble a committee of two or more faculty members, including the advisor, to evaluate the thesis work at the end of the honors sequence. While the faculty advisor is expected to work closely with the student, the committee members or “readers” are expected to read only a completed or nearly completed thesis and participate in the thesis defense.

Tenured and tenure-track faculty, retired faculty, postdoctoral fellows with teaching appointments, and fixed-term faculty who have been employed by an academic unit for at least one year may serve as committee members. Graduate students may not serve as members of Honors thesis committees.  Members may be drawn from any academic unit at UNC-Chapel Hill or from another accredited college or university, as deemed appropriate and approved by the project advisor. Once assembled in consultation with the project advisor, the committee must be approved by the Director of Undergraduate Studies.

After finding a committee, students need to complete a Senior Honors Thesis Learning Contract that must be approved and signed by the student’s thesis advisor before the end of the last semester prior to the honors sequence (typically spring of their Junior year). The learning contract should include an outline of the scope and direction of the research, a schedule of meetings, readings, target dates for submitting interim chapters and/or reports for review, and course assessment information, as well as the expected date for the submission of a near-final copy of the thesis to be defended. A template for the learning contract can be found below.

The learning contract and committee membership must be approved by Director of Undergraduate Studies before the end of the semester prior to starting the thesis. Students should bring their learning contracts to the Student Services Manager in Bingham 117 who will submit them to the Director of Undergraduate Studies.  Once the senior honors theses have been approved, the students will be notified and officially registered for COMM 693H for the upcoming semester. Each faculty advisor will be assigned a different section of COMM 693H.

At the end of the first semester of thesis work, the faculty advisors will submit grades for their students. Students and their advisors will also meet to discuss their progress. If at this time, an advisor deems a student’s progress insufficient to warrant continuation, the advisor will notify the student of this evaluation, and the student will discontinue work on the thesis, enrolling in a traditional course for the following semester, or, if the advisor is willing, continuing the project as an independent study project (COMM 396).

Students will automatically be enrolled in COMM 694H for the semester following COMM 693H, unless a student’s advisor specifies otherwise.

Research Funding

Honors Carolina offers financial awards to support senior honors thesis projects. There are two funding cycles per year, with deadlines announced by the Honors Carolina Office. Students must apply through their major academic unit’s honors director. Students may only apply for one round of funding.

Funding is also available through the Office for Undergraduate Research .

Upon completion of their projects, senior honors thesis students must pass an oral examination (thesis defense) or other appropriate form of evaluation. Students are responsible for making arrangements for their thesis defenses by discussing the date/time of the defense with all committee members and reserving necessary classroom/performance space and equipment. Students can contact the Student Services Assistant if they need assistance with reservations.

At a thesis defense, committee members will critically examine the student and his/her work. If the committee determines that the student has passed the thesis defense, they will designate the thesis as warranting the designation “with honors” or “with highest honors.”

Per departmental policy, highest honors can only be awarded to students who have met the most rigorous standards of scholarly excellence and who have a GPA of 3.50 or higher.

If a student or his/her thesis committee determines that the project does not warrant the designation of honors, the student will receive only course credit for the thesis work.

Electronic Submission

After successfully defending their theses, students must upload a scanned copy of their thesis cover page signed by their advisors and their entire thesis in PDF format to the Carolina Digital Repository . For detailed instructions, please visit the Honors Carolina website. Documents must be uploaded by the deadline as stated on the Honors Carolina website . Please contact the Student Services Assistant if you have any questions.

Recognition

Students who successfully complete a senior honors thesis project will have the designation “Honors” or “Highest Honors” printed beside their names in the Commencement bulletins and recorded on their diplomas and transcripts. At the Departmental Commencement Ceremony, students will be announced as “with honors” or “with highest honors” as they walk across the stage.

Students will also receive gold cords to wear at Commencement exercises. There is no charge for the cords, and students can pick them up from the Student Services Assistant.

Stages of the thesis or dissertation process

These guidelines and advice will be helpful as you consider your thesis or dissertation from preparation through final submission.

Stages of the Thesis or Dissertation Process

Although you won't submit your thesis or dissertation until your final semester of graduate study, it is recommended that you begin thinking about many aspects of your thesis or dissertation much sooner.

• Use The Graduate School's Thesis and Dissertation Guide to aid in preparing and submitting your thesis or dissertation. Read through the guidelines early and refer back to them as often as needed throughout the process.
• Begin discussions with your advisor and committee early, as they may have useful information to impart to you as you begin your research and writing.
• Be sure to determine which style manual is appropriate for your discipline. Formatting is often easier when applied at the beginning of the writing process rather than at the end, especially when concerning citations.
• Review and discuss how copyrighting may impact your research and writing, including decisions about publishing your own work. The University Libraries' Scholarly Communications Office is a campus resource on scholarly publishing practices.

Honors Program in Psychology and Neuroscience

The Senior Honors Program in the Department of Psychology and Neuroscience has two components:

• Students conduct an independent research project in the laboratory of a faculty member who is affiliated either with the Department of Psychology and Neuroscience or with the Neuroscience major, and
• Students enroll in and complete PSYC/NSCI 693H (Fall) and PSYC/NSCI 694H (Spring), which meet once per week.

Enrollment in the Honors Program is not restricted to students who have participated in UNC Honors Carolina and Psychology majors and Neuroscience majors who have been in the UNC Honors Program do not necessarily complete Senior Honors.

In order to graduate with Honors in Psychology or Neuroscience, you must apply by April 16 of your Junior Year .

Apply for Honors Program

Eligibility for the Honors Program requires:

• Minimum cumulative GPA of 3.3
• Prior research experience (e.g., volunteer or paid research experience that was not for course credit; in-process completion of PSYC 395 or NSCI 395
• Confirmation of a Psychology and Neuroscience faculty member or a faculty member affiliated with the Neuroscience major to serve as your Honors Advisor or Co-mentor (see FAQ section below: “What if my Research Mentor is not a Faculty Member in Psychology & Neuroscience?”)

It is strongly advised that students take PSYC 210, PSYC 270, and PSYC/NSCI 395 before applying to develop necessary skills and research interests.
• Plan ahead. The Honors Program is designed to be completed during two semesters of the senior year (i.e., you must be on-campus and enrolled both fall and spring semesters). Thus, study abroad during senior year, December graduation, and other educational opportunities may preclude participation in the Honors Program. If you have questions about your eligibility, please make an appointment with the Honors Program Director .
• Identify a faculty member to serve as your Honors Advisor. Explore our faculty’s research interests and read research articles to see if a faculty member’s research reflects your interests. A potential Honors Advisor may be identified during PSYC/NSCI 395. If you have difficulty identifying a sponsor, contact the Honors Program Director .
• Apply on time. Applications should be submitted by April 16th of your junior year.
• The completed thesis must be distributed to all committee members at least one week prior to the oral defense meeting. The Oral Defense Form must be completed and provided to your Honors Advisor prior to the meeting.
• Students present their research in about 15 minutes during the oral defense meeting. The committee will ask questions and the meeting typically takes an hour. Any revisions recommended by the Honors Committee must be made before the deadline for thesis submission. The final copy of the thesis, after approval, should be submitted to the Carolina Digital Repository . All students must participate in the Honors Poster Session as a requirement of program completion.

Senior Honors Thesis

Each year, a select group of undergraduate students enroll in the History Senior Honors Thesis program that culminates in the writing of a substantial, original, and polished piece of historical research. If you plan to go to graduate school in history, attend law school, work in public history, or if you simply cannot get enough of historical research and writing, this is the program for you.

At the beginning of the spring semester, the department invites the application of rising seniors who have an overall academic average of 3.3 or better, an average of 3.4 or better in history courses, and will have successfully completed at least one Undergraduate Seminar in HIST 398. For the Spring 2024 application, click here . The deadline for applications is Friday, March 8th.

The basic structure for the senior honors program is provided by HIST 691H and 692H, an intensive, two-semester research and writing seminar conducted by the department’s honors director. In addition to weekly seminar meetings, each honors candidate holds regular meetings with an honors adviser, a faculty member with knowledge of the given field.

Click here to see the posters and abstracts of some of the excellent work done by past Senior Honors Thesis students.

At the end of the spring semester, the honors prize committee makes the final determinations for Highest Honors and awards the Frank Ryan Prize to the best essay of the year. Awards are normally announced at a year-ending honors lunch celebrating the achievements of the department’s distinguished undergraduates.

Funding in support of research may be available through Honors Carolina and the Department of History’s Boyatt and Kusa awards .

Questions about the History Senior Honors Thesis should be directed to the current program director, Brett Whalen .

Honors Thesis

Public Policy majors who have at least a 3.3 overall grade point average and a 3.5 in the core public policy courses are eligible to apply to the UNC Public Policy Honors Program in the spring of their junior year. The Honors Thesis Program offers an opportunity for motivated students to move beyond traditional coursework and apply critical thinking skills to an academic public policy thesis. This program is organized as an original, independent research project under the direction of a faculty adviser.

Students begin the program by taking PLCY 691H Honors in Public Policy in the fall semester of senior year. Please note that a recommendation from an adviser and the completion of at least four core Public Policy courses, including PLCY 460 and PLCY 581, are required for entry into PLCY 691H. During this course, students will work under the direction of their thesis advisers to complete their research proposals, obtain Institutional Review Board Approval (IRB), and complete the first two chapters of their proposed thesis. If the research proposal is approved by the IRB and the first two chapters are approved by the thesis adviser, students continue their thesis research the following semester in PLCY 692H. The honors thesis provides a total of six credit hours toward the major.

Students who complete an honors thesis and maintain all other eligibility criteria may be recommended by their thesis advisor and the Undergraduate Affairs Committee for graduation with “Honors” or “Highest Honors” in Public Policy.

Students interested in pursuing the honors thesis should read the Public Policy Honors Handbook thoroughly. This handbook contains syllabi for both PLCY 691H and PLCY 692H, thesis deadlines, and the required application for enrollment in 691H.

Jordan Klevdal’s Research at Wilson Library

Jordan Klevdal, an ECL PhD student, was recently featured in a UNC Endeavors news story. Endeavors features UNC-Chapel Hill’s researchers. The piece Beyond the Stacks focuses on research projects utilizing the libraries at UNC: “Carolina’s libraries are vital for research, fueling projects across the university from art history to health science.”

Klevdal is researching the relationship between images and the printed word: “‘I’m thinking about how readers from the 20th century got used to seeing images in the context of what they’re reading,’ she says. ‘Are they learning to read images? What is the actual interaction between the text and the image?’”

Klevdal’s work ranges from simple relationships between images and words—“like captions with photographs”—to more ambiguous pairings, such as illustrated poems. She is particularly interested in the poetry of Frank O’Hara, “a mid-20th-century writer, critic, and curator at the Museum of Modern Art who often collaborated with artists for his own work.” Jason Tomberlin, a librarian at Wilson, has helped Klevdal narrow her research on O’Hara. 

Klevdal said regarding her work at Wilson: “Librarians have a wealth of knowledge and bring up things totally not on your radar. When you use search engines or finding aids, you find an answer and you’re done. Librarians not only help you find what you’re looking for, but materials associated with that topic.”

• Objective: The aims of this systematic review were to determine the magnitude and impact of multimorbidity (≥2 chronic conditions) on mortality, length of stay, and rates of coronary intervention in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and to compare the prevalence of cardiovascular versus noncardiovascular multimorbidities. Methods: MEDLINE, PubMed, MedlinePlus, EMBASE, OVID, and CINAHL databases were searched for studies published between 2009 and 2019. Eight original studies enrolling patients with ACS and assessing cardiovascular and noncardiovascular comorbid conditions met the inclusion criteria. Study quality was evaluated using the Crowe Critical Appraisal Tool. Results: The most frequently examined cardiovascular multimorbidities included hypertension, diabetes, heart failure, atrial fibrillation, stroke/transient ischemic attack, coronary heart disease, and peripheral vascular disease; the most frequently examined noncardiovascular multimorbidities included cancer, anemia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, renal disease, liver disease, and depression. The prevalence of multimorbidity in the population with ACS is high (25%-95%). Patients with multimorbidities receive fewer evidence-based treatments, including coronary intervention and high-dose statins. Patients with multimorbidities experience higher in-hospital mortality (5%-13.9% vs 2.6%-6.1%), greater average length of stay (5-9 vs 3-4 days), and lower rates of revascularization (9%-14% vs 39%-42%) than nonmultimorbid patients. Women, despite being the minority in all sample populations, exhibited greater levels of multimorbidity than men. Conclusions: Multimorbid patients with ACS are at a greater risk for worse outcomes than their nonmultimorbid counterparts. Lack of consistent measurement makes interpretation of the impact of multimorbidity challenging and emphasizes the need for more research on multimorbidity's effects on postdischarge healthcare utilization.
