Why complete an Honors Thesis?
The honors thesis provides students with opportunities to engage in scholarship and professional activity that cannot be paralleled by any classroom experience. Preparing a thesis allows students to explore a topic thoroughly, generate new knowledge and contribute to their fields of study. The thesis can satisfy intellectual curiosity, promote creativity and intellectual maturation, and expose students to expectations similar to those in graduate school, professional school and various career positions. The thesis encourages students to develop several important academic and professional skills, such as critical analysis, oral and written communication, problem solving, and time management. The thesis also affords students the opportunity to develop a professional working relationship with their professors which can help to enrich their intellectual development. The thesis improves student marketability by providing students with advanced academic experience, detailed meaningful reference letters from their mentors, and tangible products to show admissions committees and prospective employers. Students who successfully complete an Honors thesis and maintain a minimum 3.5 GPA and are in good standing are eligible to graduate from the Department of Nutrition with distinction.
