Advising Honors Students
Any professor or full-time lecturer in a department can serve as an honors advisor to a student.
• The honors advisor works closely with the individual student, and keeps in contact with the Honors Representative for the department.
• The Honors Advisor also works closely with the Honors Director in helping to ensure the successful completion of the off-campus proposal, the post-off campus report, and the honors thesis.
• Students may receive advice and suggestions from more than one advisor in a department, or may work with two different advisors from two different departments in the case of an interdisciplinary project (for example, linguistics and psychology, education and French).
The Honors Program is essentially the same as the regular program(s) in the major with a few key differences. Advising that works for regular majors is also fully applicable for Honors students. For freshmen and sophomores the primary advisor is the Honors Director, working in cooperation with departmental Honors Representatives and Honors Advisors.
