Honors

The portfolio represents primarily a collection of the student's best work throughout his or her tenure as an undergraduate student. However, the portfolio is not a scrapbook; it contains samples of the student's best work, which may include class papers, exams, laboratory reports, musical compositions, paintings, designs of equipment, articles submitted for publication, etc. Depending on a student's major, the portfolio may contain other appropriate evidences of academic progress or achievement (e.g., artwork). When submitted for examination at defense, the portfolio should contain, but is not limited to:

• A one-page outline or summary, semester by semester, of the major highlights and achievements of the student's undergraduate experience.
• A one-page description and assessment of the student's most memorable service experience while a student at BYU. Why or how was this experience formative for the student? How does the student plan to serve the larger community once he or she has left the university?
• A current transcript or ABC report indicating a GPA of at least 3.5.
• A list of three faculty members who know the student and can recommend his or her academic record.
• A representative collection of the student's best academic work that reflects his or her educational progression throughout the undergraduate years.
• The Great Works requirement: the Experience Log with a list of 72 Great Works and 12 Great Works response papers.
