Honors Program Research Opportunities

Another substantial benefit to being a student in the Honors Program is the opportunity to conduct research. A successful undergraduate research project may help give students an edge when pursuing future job prospects or when applying to professional and graduate schools. In addition, many students conducting research present their findings or projects at professional meetings and symposiums.

Introduction to Honors Research (HONR 3281) requires every Honors student to develop a proposal for research or work in their academic field. Honors students are strongly encouraged to pursue the research or academic activity outlined in their proposal by submitting it for internal or external funding.

Additionally, by choosing the Honors Thesis Option, Honors students conduct a year-long research or scholarly project within their academic field. Student choosing the Thesis Option will have the title of their thesis project stated on their Angelo State University transcript.
