Undergraduate Honors Program
The Undergraduate Honors Program at Binghamton University, in the Art History Department, is one of the most beneficial opportunities avaliable to students. In this department, admission to the Honors Program requires a 3.5 GPA and a proposal prepared in consultation with a faculty advisor and accepted by the faculty committee. The program gives students the chance to research a principle or artist in the broad range of art history that most intrigues them and create a project based around it. The Honors Program is a year-long commitment. The completion of the project gives participants the chance to have a published thesis, as well as an enourmous feeling of achievement. Honors students learn a great deal during the process, and gain experience in writing a thesis paper.
Students entering the Honors Program should contact a potential advisor in her/his area of interest several months before the start of the fall semester to insure the acceptability of the project and the availability of the individual advisor.
