Requirements for Honors in EUST: The Honors Program in European Studies. gives junior and senior students of high ability the opportunity to enroll in enriched courses and conduct independent research culminating in an honors thesis. In addition to satisfying the general Fulbright College requirements for graduation and the basic eligibility requirements for honors as established by the Honors Council, candidates for honors in European Studies must complete 12 hours of honors credit in partial satisfaction of requirements for the co-major. One to six of these may be thesis hours (EUST 399VH). The preferred method for satisfying the remaining hours is to enroll in the colloquium at least once for honors credit (EUST 4003H) and to take relevant honors colloquia or graduate courses (with permission) in one of the departments contributing to this interdisciplinary area study. The thesis committee shall include a representative from the major discipline (in the case of multiple majors, from the discipline contributing
most significantly to the topic). Successful completion of these requirements will be recognized by the award of the distinction "European Studies Scholar Cum Laude" at graduation. Higher degree distinctions are recommended only in exceptional cases and are based upon the whole of the candidate's program of honors studies.
