Sociology, Honors Program
|
|
The B.A. in Sociology with Honors is the highest accolade UNC Charlotte Sociology undergraduates can receive. The Honors Program aims to identify, encourage, nurture, and recognize students with exceptional analytical, creative, and communicative skills. The program stresses guided, but self-directed, independent study and each Honors student is assisted and evaluated by a faculty committee. The Sociology Honors program is great preparation for post baccalaureate/graduate training, and a stellar addition to a student’s resume. This distinction attests to a candidate’s exemplary grade point average in their major, the completion of honors coursework, as well as the successful defense of a substantial undergraduate thesis. Following successful completion, the honors notation will appear on a student’s official transcript. For further information, interested students should consult with the Department Chair or Undergraduate Coordinator.
All program-level Admissions and Progression Requirements are in addition to the University of North Carolina at Charlotte Admission Requirements .
