Honors Projects
An Honors Project (THEA 499.00) is a 3-credit capstone learning experience for a theatre major completed in their last year of study. This independent or collaborative project is conducted with department approval. Students apply by submitting an application created with the guidance of an advisor. Acceptance is determined by an Honors Project faculty committee. Students must secure their own resources for their project, such as, the Student Activity Fund or the Department production grants. Advisors are responsible for grading the Honors project with feedback from the Honors Committee. To complete an Honors Project students must follow their proposed calendar, complete the required work on their project, and attend 2-3 meetings with the Honors Project Group.
