For Honors Students Only; HON 491: Follow instructions for Honors Thesis submission on the Lewis Honors College website: https://www.uky.edu/honors/thesis. Students are responsible for securing their Honors Thesis faculty mentor. Students must submit the HON 491 Honors Thesis proposal form and submit to Honors academic advisor by the last day of ADD/DROP. Faculty mentors will be assigned in MyUK once Honors advisor receives the completed Thesis Proposal that has been approved and signed by the faculty mentor.

The Honors thesis provides a culmination to an Honors student's academic career. The Honors thesis should be an outgrowth of the student's academic work, rooted in their chosen discipline, in most cases in the student's major or minor. In cases where a student has multiple majors, minors, or interdisciplinary interests that are not captured in a major or minor, the student should work with their Honors academic advisor to identify a topic that is supported by their academic work. The Honors thesis offers an opportunity-along with the responsibility-for a student to work with a faculty member on a research or creative project which integrates and expands on previous work and which documents their contribution to the discipline in an appropriate manner. An Honors thesis proposal must be submitted and approved by the faculty member advising the project and the Lewis Honors College. May be repeated up to nine credits.
