The Enrichment Programs are offices that provide enhancing experiences for UConn students, encouraging them to elevate their studies. The Honors Program is unique in that it requires an invitation, determined by a holistic review of every UConn candidate.
The remaining Enrichment Programs are open to all students at all campuses. Our Directors work with undergraduates to navigate competitive scholarship and fellowship competitions, offer guidance on research, and mentorship for professional degrees. There are also opportunities for students to craft their own plans of study through individualized studies or the highly selective University Scholar Program.
We encourage you to explore all that Enrichment Programs can offer, and invite you to be our partner in helping students reach their goals.
Your Honors thesis represents the culmination of your Honors academic career. When you are finished, you will have produced something that is a unique contribution to your field. While you will work with multiple people who will support your efforts, your thesis is your own. For many students, the thesis is the first time they have attempted a project of this scale, so it should be viewed as a learning experience—no one starts out knowing how to do a thesis!
Depending on your major and your academic and professional plans, your thesis may consist of a traditional research project, piece of scholarship, or a creative product. The exact requirements (such as format or page length) are set by departments and Honors advisors, but your thesis must include some written document that will be submitted to the Honors Program.
Students are required to use the new online thesis submission process to provide the Honors office with an approved electronic copy of their thesis. This submission is a final draft that has been already reviewed by both your thesis supervisor and your Honors advisor, so plan ahead for revisions and any earlier deadlines they may set.
Required thesis submission – please submit the final version of your thesis, after all updates have been made, and allow time for approval of your thesis supervisor and Honors advisor by the deadline below based on your graduation date.
For August graduates, approved theses are due on August 31st.
