Honors Program
Outstanding majors in the department have the opportunity to graduate with Honors, High Honors, or Highest Honors in Theater Studies. To be eligible, the student must be a major in the Department with a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.5 by the end of the junior year. The candidate for honors then must propose a thesis or production project and, after approval of that proposal from the department, will be assigned an honor's advisor who will supervise the thesis or project and, upon its completion, lead, with at least one outside examiner, an oral or written examination that will determine the degree of honors achieved. Honors are awarded in a special commencement ceremony and are noted on the honoree's commencement program and diploma.
