Honors

Finding Honors Theses in the Library

The call number for Honors theses is AS 36 .B752 and then they are arranged by the author's surname and the date.  They are not arranged by academic department. (Although a copy of every thesis is sent to the academic department, so they should have a collection of them in their respective conference rooms as well.)

The LC subject heading for the library is "university scholar project." If you go to the online library catalog and use Open Advanced Search and place on line one "university scholar project" and and on line two the academic department (i.e. "Social Work") you can find theses within a certain discipline.

Below are the beginnings of our archive of all past Honors theses. We are working on refining the data, so right now many majors are not showing up. Eventually we will have complete data including library call numbers, but until then we hope this information is useful. Please note that not all theses may be housed in the library--just because a title appears on this list does not mean that a copy is available. 

Use your browser's search function (Ctrl + F for Internet Explorer) to locate majors or students of interest.
