MEET THE CHALLENGE OF ENRICHED DEGREE OPTIONS

HONORS DEGREE AND HONORS DEGREE WITH DISTINCTION
The Honors Degree and the Honors Degree with Distinction are Delaware’s most comprehensive enriched undergraduate degree experiences, and are currently available in more than 100 majors (please see the Synopsis of Honors Baccalaureate Degrees chart in this catalog). The Honors Degree recognizes a student’s excellent performance in Honors coursework in and outside the primary major. The Honors Degree with Distinction recognizes a student’s completion of the research requirements for the Degree with Distinction in addition to the successful pursuit of Honors coursework throughout the degree program.

The complete requirements for an Honors Baccalaureate Degree are as follows:

1. The requirements for the baccalaureate degree in the major (including all University and college requirements), as well as any other specific requirements the major department may set for the Honors Degree.
2. The general requirements for the Honors Degree:
   1. University of Delaware cumulative grade-point index of at least 3.400 at the time of graduation.
   2. At least 30 credits earned in Honors courses. Of these Honors credits:
      1. At least 12 must be in the major department or in closely related courses in collateral disciplines specifically required for the major.
      2. At least 12 must be taken at the 300 level or higher, not the first-year interdisciplinary Honors colloquium (which is usually numbered 390).
      3. Three credits must be in an Honors Degree seminar or Honors capstone course or a comparable senior experience approved by the student’s major department and the University Honors Program, to be completed in the last 2 semesters of a student’s degree program.
      4. Plus additional Honors credits as needed to reach the 30 required Honors credits.
3. Submission of the Honors Degree Application Form to the University Honors Program by May 15 the year before a student is planning to graduate.

Honors coursework counting toward the Honors Degree cannot be taken on a pass-fail basis unless the course is only offered pass-fail.

The complete requirements for an Honors Baccalaureate Degree with Distinction are as follows:

1. The complete requirements for the Honors Baccalaureate Degree (see above).
2. Six credits of Honors thesis or project (UNIV 401/402) and the successful oral presentation of an acceptable thesis or project to a committee of faculty approved by the major department, the Honors Program, and the Undergraduate Research Program.
   1. Six credits of Honors thesis may be counted as part of the 30 Honors credits required for the Honors Degree.
   2. Completion of any additional specifications for the thesis or project set by the major department.

Honors coursework counting toward the Honors Degree with Distinction cannot be taken on a pass-fail basis unless the course is only offered pass-fail.

DEGREES WITH DISTINCTION
A Degree with Distinction, which may be earned in any undergraduate major, is a research degree. Like the Honors Degree with Distinction, it includes a senior thesis or creative project with an oral defense before a faculty committee. Students receive a bachelor’s degree in the appropriate college and major with the notation that it was earned “with distinction.”

Candidates for the Degree with Distinction must meet the following conditions:

1. At the time of graduation, the candidate’s cumulative grade-point index must be at least 3.00 and his or her index in the major must be at least 3.50.
2. The candidate must complete six credits of thesis or project (UNIV 401 and UNIV 402) and give an oral presentation and defense of the thesis or project to a committee of faculty from the major department and related fields.

DEAN'S SCHOLARS PROGRAMS
The Dean’s Scholar Program exists to serve the needs of students whose clearly defined educational goals cannot effectively be achieved by pursuing the standard curricula for all existing majors, minors, and interdepartmental majors sponsored by the University. Driven by an overarching passion or curiosity that transcends typical disciplinary bounds and curricula, a Dean’s Scholar’s intellectual interests may lead to broad interdisciplinary explorations of an issue or to more intense, in-depth studies in a single field at a level akin to graduate work. In consultation with faculty advisors and the Associate or Assistant Dean of their college, Dean’s Scholars design an imaginative and rigorous individual plan of study to meet the total credit hours required for graduation. The Dean’s Scholar Program is available in the Colleges of Agriculture and Natural Resources; Arts and Sciences; Business and Economics; Engineering; Health Sciences and Human Services, Education and Public Policy; and Marine and Earth Studies. Working in conjunction with the Honors Program, Dean’s Scholars in Agriculture and Natural Resources, Arts and Sciences, and Human Services, Education and Public Policy may qualify for Honors Degrees. More information and the application procedures can be found at www.udel.edu/deansscholar/.

THE HONORS EXPERIENCE: MORE THAN A DEGREE PROGRAM

Any University student who has a minimum 3.40 GPA and has taken two Honors courses and received a grade of B or better may apply for formal admission to the Honors Program. To be reviewed, a student must present a transcript, two letters of recommendation from Honors program faculty, and a completed application form (available at www.udel.edu/honors/ or in the Honors Program Office). Applications are reviewed twice a year (October 15 and March 15); an appeal of the committee’s decision may be made to the Director of the Honors Program, who is not a member of the committee itself, and whose decision is final.

There is no added fee for participation in the Honors Program.

The University Honors Program has offices on the second floor of Elliott Hall, on Main Street. Please call (302) 831-1195 or visit www.udel.edu/honors/ for more information.

HONORS COURSES
Honors courses are offered each semester, in a wide array of disciplines. Honors courses provide highly motivated students an opportunity to interact intensively with faculty and other students in active-learning courses. These range from one-credit short courses and tutorials to interdisciplinary colloquia, undergraduate research, and independent study.

• Honors Colloquia. Each of these 3-credit interdisciplinary seminars for first-year Honors Program students is served by a Writing Fellow — a specially trained peer tutor who helps students refine the form, but not the content, of their papers, prior to grading by the instructor. Recent colloquia topics have included “Choosing the President,” “The Lessons of Vietnam,” “Imagination, Creativity, and Expression,” and “Shakespeare’s Classical World.”
• One-credit Honors Forums. Options typically include “Women’s History through Film,” and “The Law and You.”
• Honors Tutorials. With a maximum of six to eight students and one faculty member, a tutorial meets weekly for careful study of classic literary and philosophic texts. These courses satisfy the senior capstone requirement for the Honors Degrees.
• Honors Degree Seminars. These upper-division interdisciplinary seminars satisfy the senior capstone requirement for the Honors Degrees.
• Study Abroad. Honors courses may be arranged as part of the University’s numerous and varied Semester Abroad and Winter Session Abroad programs. Students also may complete research abroad through the Science and Engineering exchange with Imperial College, London. Foreign Study Scholarships, open to all students, are available to defray travel expenses for every University-sponsored program. For scholarship information, contact the Center for International Studies, (302) 831-2852; www.udel.edu/IntlProg.

Students in the Honors Program must maintain a University of Delaware GPA of no less than a 3.00 to be eligible to take Honors courses beyond the first semester. Honors Program students with grade point indexes below the 3.00 minimum will not be eligible to take Honors courses until their grade point indexes improve to the required 3.00 or above.

Full-time matriculated undergraduate students not in the Honors Program are eligible to take Honors courses provided they have completed a minimum of 12 credits at the University and have a University of Delaware cumulative GPA of 3.00 or higher. Priority seating in Honors courses is always given to eligible Honors Program Students. Students not in the Honors Program who meet the necessary criteria may contact the Honors Program office two weeks prior to the start of the semester to request Honors courses if seats are available.

GENERAL HONORS AWARD
The General Honors Award provides recognition of a student’s pursuit of Honors challenges and enrichment opportunities during the first two years of university study. Receipt of the General Honors Award is recorded on a student’s permanent transcript.

The complete requirements for the General Honors Award are as follows:

1. Eighteen credits of Honors coursework completed within the first two years of study, with a minimum of 12 credits required in the first year.
2. Three credits of the 12 credits completed in the first year must include an interdisciplinary Honors colloquium course.
3. A minimum GPA of at least 3.200 at the conclusion of the first two years of study at the University.
4. A minimum of 60 credits (including advanced placement and transfer credits) must be completed by the end of the second year, at least 48 of which must be earned at UD.
5. Residence in first-year Honors housing is required during the first year of study.
6. Honors coursework counting toward the General Honors Award cannot be taken on a pass-fail basis unless the course is only offered pass-fail.

THE HONORS FOREIGN LANGUAGE CERTIFICATE
The Honors Foreign Language Certificate is available to students in majors other than Foreign Languages and Literatures. For information on this opportunity, see the Foreign Languages and Literatures section of this catalog.

THE ALISON SCHOLARS PROGRAM
The Alison Scholars Program is available, by invitation only, to a few selected Honors students who have a great love for the humanities and/or social sciences and are likely to be candidates, not only for graduate or professional school admission, but also for prestigious awards and graduate fellowships, including the Rhodes, Marshall, Truman, and Gates competitions. The program is named after Dr. Francis Alison, a colonial scholar and founder (in 1743) of the New London Academy, the forerunner of the University of Delaware.

Faculty mentors and Honors Program staff help the Scholars plan their educations and provide an early introduction to enriching activities, such as undergraduate research, study abroad, community service, internships, and service-learning experiences.

At Delaware, all College of Arts and Sciences students must complete a liberal arts core known as “Breadth Requirements.” While Alison Scholars must fulfill these requirements, they have greater freedom in the particular courses they choose; this freedom is designed to facilitate speedier entry into upper-level or graduate courses.

Alison Scholars are selected in March and April from the incoming students majoring in Arts and Sciences who have been offered admission into the University Honors Program.

THE WRITING FELLOWS PROGRAM
The Writing Fellows Program is a peer tutoring program that trains advanced undergraduate peer tutors to assist faculty in providing one-on-one instruction in writing to students enrolled in first-year Honors colloquia and other writing-intensive courses. It creates and supports a close intellectual community for students who are interested in the writing process. The Fellows gain valuable experience in teaching as well as in editing, and they often form close and productive relationships with the faculty members for whom they work. These Fellowships are also seen as significant and relevant achievements in admissions to graduate school, law school, academic internships, and jobs pre- and post-graduation. For more information, call (302) 831-6560.

PRIVATE MUSIC INSTRUCTION
Belonging to a diverse student body is an important part of the Honors Program experience at UD. Undergraduate research, study abroad, unique Honors course offerings, and the many Honors extracurricular activities allow Honors students to pursue their own particular enthusiasms.

Private Music Instruction is yet another way of fostering individual talent. Typically, an unusually large percentage of Honors-calibre students are also accomplished musicians. Most of these students do not intend to major in music or to pursue a musical career. Nevertheless, they are quite serious about their music study. The Private Music Instruction option is designed to assist them.

Freshmen who are in the Honors Program may receive individual music instruction by passing an audition conducted by the Music Department. (Auditions are held at the start of fall semester; information on registering for them is provided in Delaworld 101 new student orientation.) Please bear in mind that this program assumes that a student is already proficient in his or her instrument: it is not a program for beginners and placement is highly competitive. This option is designed for non-Music majors and minors. Typically eligible students take private music instruction in the fall semester of the first year. Continuation into the spring semester of the first year may be possible but is not guaranteed. After the freshman year a limited number of Music Merit Awards may be available through the Music Department to allow non-Music majors and minors the ability to continue their music instruction.

The Department of Music offers instruction in string instruments, brass and woodwinds, keyboard instruments, percussion, and voice. There are also extensive opportunities for all students to participate in music ensembles.

For more information, please telephone the Music Department, (302) 831-2577 or the Honors Program, (302) 831-1195.

THE HONORS PROGRAM OFFICES
The Honors Program offices are located on the second floor of Elliott Hall, on Main Street. Elliott Hall, one of the University’s restored historic buildings, is located at the top of The Green, just down the street from the Trabant University Center. Elliott Hall houses Writing Fellow tutoring space, as well as a few computers for University Honors Program student use. Summer College offices are also located on the second floor of Elliott Hall. For more information on Summer College, see the chapter "Flexible Programs Promote Lifelong Learning" in this catalog.

RESIDENCE LIFE AND HONORS HOUSING
Full-time Honors freshmen live in the Russell Residence Complex, situated in East Campus, a popular location that is a short walk from the University’s Morris Library. East Campus is also home to the Perkins Student Center, the Harrington Fitness Center, and the Harrington Computer Site (which includes both IBM-compatible and Macintosh computers). Russell has its own dining hall. Living in the Russell complex is a requirement for the first year in Honors, although it is possible to obtain a waiver of this requirement if a student plans to live at home and commute to campus.

Honors freshmen live primarily with other Honors students; however, they are not isolated from the rest of the campus. They share a sense of community with each other, while participating fully in University-wide activities.

Upperclass students in Honors reside wherever they choose. Some move to upperclass Honors floors or to other special-interest housing; others choose conventional housing on- or off-campus. Upperclass Honors housing is available in North Central in Brown, Sypherd, Harter, and Sharp Halls and in South Central in Cannon and New Castle Halls on the beautiful University of Delaware Green. Honors Program students with a minimum 3.00 CUM GPA are guaranteed a space in upper class Honors housing.

RUSSELL FELLOWS
Russell Fellows are upperclass Honors students who live in the Russell Complex and mentor the Honors freshmen. Russell Fellows help the freshmen adjust to college life, and plan on-campus activities and off-campus excursions, including trips to New York City, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington for athletic events, concerts, museum tours, and theatre performances.

SENIOR FELLOWS
Senior Fellows are upperclass Honors students who volunteer to coordinate academic, cultural, and social programming on- and off-campus for students living in upperclass Honors housing, with special emphasis on programs that include interaction with University faculty.

FRESHMEN FELLOWS
Freshmen Fellows are freshmen living in Russell Complex who assist Russell Fellows with on- and off-campus programming.

GENERAL EDUCATION INITIATIVE (GEI)

The General Education Initiative (GEI) was launched by the University Faculty Senate in March 2000. The Senate resolution adopted the 10 Goals to Success for undergraduate education. In May 2004, the Faculty Senate approved the GEI and cited significant components such as the First Year Experience, Core Competencies, and Discovery Learning Experience. The Faculty Senate further resolved that programs continue to be developed specifically to foster these goals, and instructors throughout the University make every attempt to incorporate these goals wherever possible into courses.

FIRST YEAR EXPERIENCE (FYE)

The General Education Initiative enhances the transition into university life through the First Year Experience (FYE). This coordinated learning experience develops the educational and social skills necessary for academic success. The University requires all first year students to participate in a First Year Experience. These include the LIFE (Learning Integrated Freshman Experience) Program, First Year Seminars, University Honors Program Colloquium, and Pathways courses. Further information, see page 68 and http://www.ugs.udel.edu/FYE.

LIFE (LEARNING INTEGRATED FRESHMAN EXPERIENCE)
LIFE is an academic living-learning experience for first-year college students. LIFE students form a small learning community organized around academic courses, an academic theme, and out-of-class experiences integrating the courses and themes. Some LIFE clusters are targeted to specific majors or careers while other LIFE clusters have more broadly organized academic themes. LIFE clusters house students together in residence halls across campus. Students are also co-enrolled in a co-curricular course, University 101: First-Year Experience (a one-credit, P/F seminar), and cluster variations include University Studies, Associate in Arts Program, and off-campus residence students. The academic courses that comprise LIFE clusters are regular University courses, containing both LIFE and non-LIFE students.

FIRST YEAR SEMINARS
First Year Seminars, FYS, are courses offered by departments specifically for first year students. First Year Seminars are discipline specific according to department curriculum. First year students are introduced to the expectations of an academic major or career through these seminars. Further information is available at http://www.ugs.udel.edu/FYE.

PATHWAYS
Pathways courses are thematic, integrative courses for first-year students, designed to introduce students to the academic resources of the university and to teach basic intellectual skills required for a successful undergraduate experience. Pathways courses are intended to offer students opportunities to approach topics of general interest from cross-, inter-, or multi-disciplinary perspectives. These courses are often collaboratively designed by teams of faculty from different disciplines. Pathways courses employ various pedagogies, including discussion groups, problem-based learning, peer mentoring, and other collaborative teaching methods. For further information see http://www.ugs.udel.edu/FYE.

FIRST YEAR EXPERIENCE STUDY ABROAD
FYE study abroad programs are organized for only first year students. FYE study abroad programs occur during Winter Session. Past programs have been in London, England; Costa Rica; Grenada, Spain; Merida, Mexico; and Sydney, Australia. Further information: www.ugs.udel.edu/FYE.

DISCOVERY LEARNING (DLE)

In order to further enhance the undergraduate education, a number of Discovery Learning Experience (DLE) opportunities are available to students. DLE requires all students to take at least three credits of DLE prior to graduation. DLE is experiential learning that involves instructional experiences out-of-class and beyond typical curriculum courses. These enrichment experiences exist for students under the supervision of a faculty member. DLE includes experiences such as internship, service learning, independent study, undergraduate research, and study abroad which are designated DLE. Further information: http://www.ugs.udel.edu/DLE/Discovery.

UNIV COURSES
University (UNIV) courses are undergraduate courses which provide opportunities beyond existing department courses. These courses enhance the undergraduate education for motivated students seeking more direct involvement with faculty in experiential practice. UNIV courses include teaching experience as group tutor, peer facilitator/instructor, workshop guide, and undergraduate teaching assistant; learning experience as discovery learning, service-learning, fieldwork, co-op, apprenticeship, and internship; and research experience such as fieldwork and laboratory work. Students enroll under the supervision of faculty with permission. UNIV courses may not substitute major courses required in the department curriculum. Further information: http://www.ugs.udel.edu/gened/.

SERVICE LEARNING
Service-learning links students to the needs of the larger society. As one of the University of Delaware’s signature discovery learning opportunities, service-learning combines academic study with community service. Most service-learning experiences at the University of Delaware take place in courses whose students, as part of their coursework, provide service in a community agency and whose faculty direct the students’ reflection on these real-world experiences in light of academic theories and information being taught in the course.

Committed undergraduates may pursue individual service-learning projects through the Service-Learning Scholars program. Service-Learning Scholarships provide highly motivated students the opportunity to undertake full time independent projects over the summer. Scholars work with a community partner while simultaneously pursing academic reading and reflection with a faculty mentor. Scholars receive a $3,000 scholarship and serve full-time for ten weeks during the summer and continue to do three credits worth of work during the following academic year. Further information: http://www.servicelearning.udel.edu.

UD'S UNIQUE UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES

UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH PROGRAM
Delaware’s unique Undergraduate Research Program encourages highly motivated undergraduates, beginning with the freshman level, to serve as junior members of research teams, working with faculty mentors. Through hands-on experience, students learn to formulate significant questions, develop investigative procedures, gather and examine evidence, make mistakes, follow hunches, detect loopholes, and evaluate and report results.

Undergraduates usually receive academic credit for research activities or students who hold college work-study grants may earn their grant money. In the summer, a salary or stipend is often possible. Students explore career options through undergraduate research, and many make original contributions to knowledge in their chosen fields.

The University’s Undergraduate Research Program assists undergraduates interested in research by serving as a central information and referral source. The Program also administers the Degree with Distinction and the senior thesis portion of the Honors Degree with Distinction requirements, and it offers research funding in the form of Undergraduate Research Grants (to defray the research expenses of students and their faculty sponsors) and Scholarships (to enable selected students to work on research full time during the summer).

Each year, the Undergraduate Research Program sponsors a spring symposium at which candidates for Distinction and Degree with Distinction students present their research findings. Science, Engineering and CHEP Scholars present several annual poster sessions, and McNair, UUS, Arts, Humanities, and Social Science Scholars present their work at annual research events. For more Undergraduate Research Program information, visit http://urp.udel.edu/

UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMS:

RONALD E. MCNAIR POST BACCALAUREATE ACHIEVEMENT PROGRAM
A research-based program designed especially for students seeking to place their research experience in the context of future graduate study, the Ronald E. McNair Post Baccalaureate Achievement Program promotes academic and personal excellence among undergraduate students interested in attaining a doctoral degree. Funded by the U.S. Department of Education, the McNair Program recruits talented, eligible undergraduates from all colleges at the University of Delaware. McNair Scholars are a community who value intellectual exchange and debate and the development of the life of the mind. Twenty-two McNair Scholars are funded each year. Focusing on graduate school preparation, the McNair Program demystifies the graduate school application process and provides students with a simulated graduate school experience. The program offers a scholarly environment whereby students receive academic, financial, and social support, as well as competitive stipends; one-onone faculty mentoring; academic and financial aid advising; an intensive undergraduate summer research internship; graduate school preparation seminars; GRE preparation courses; research methodologies, statistics, and ethics course(s); a graduate school visitation program; cultural and social programs; a national McNair networking program; and graduate school application & GRE fee waivers.

UNIVERSITY UNDERGRADUATE SCHOLARS
The University Undergraduate Scholars Program aims to prepare talented students for graduate study through an intensive undergraduate research experience, academic enrichment, and a diverse living/learning community. University Undergraduate Scholars are eligible for a combination of services from the Undergraduate Research Program and the Ronald E. McNair Post Baccalaureate Achievement Program.

Five to ten University Undergraduate Scholars are funded each year to participate in a ten-week summer immersion undergraduate research experience with a faculty member in the field they hope to enter. These Scholars participate fully in McNair community-building experiences such as weekly group dinners, reading groups, and other social/cultural events. They meet the same obligations as the federally funded McNair Scholars, participate in McNair’s full academic enrichment program, including participation in a graduate school seminar series, take part in graduate school visitations, present their research-in-progress at national McNair and/or Undergraduate Research conferences, and are given the opportunity to present their research in UD symposia and poster sessions. Scholars receive full individual advisement from McNair program staff, including advisement about graduate programs most appropriate to their interests and abilities, as well as individual review and critique of their graduate school application materials.

SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING SCHOLARS
The Science and Engineering Scholars Program combines the resources of the University’s science and engineering colleges and research centers, the Undergraduate Research Program, and industrial sponsors to offer selected students in-depth research apprenticeships in all areas of science and engineering. Participating colleges are Engineering, Arts and Sciences, Agriculture and Natural Resources, Health Sciences, and Marine and Earth Studies. Up to 90 research scholarships of $3,500 each are awarded to outstanding sophomore majors in the sciences and engineering. Students serve a 10-week full-time research apprenticeship to a faculty member during the summer between the sophomore and junior years. They continue as research assistants during the junior year, often in the Winter Session. Research during the academic year may be counted in most departments as one technical elective course or one elective course in the major.

LIFE SCIENCE SCHOLARS
Funding undergraduate research in all areas of the life sciences, the Life Science Scholars Program annually provides about 30 summer stipends of $3,500 each to students for the summer after their junior year. Outstanding first-year students may also apply. Each summer, the faculty directors of the University’s Howard Hughes Medical Institute grant sponsor weekly enrichment seminars and a summer Undergraduate Research Symposium for all undergraduates conducting research in the sciences.

ARTS, HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCE SCHOLARS
The Arts, Humanities and Social Science Scholars Program enables selected sophomore and junior majors in the humanities and social science disciplines and in art to do in-depth research or creative work with University faculty. Up to 45 research scholarships of $3,500 each are awarded. Students work on their projects full-time for ten weeks in the summer and continue to do three credits of research in the following academic year. The research done during the academic year may be part of the senior thesis for the Degree with Distinction or Honors Degree with Distinction.

CHEP SCHOLARS
The College of Human Services, Education and Public Policy (CHEP) offers up to ten $3,500 awards to sophomore and junior majors in the College, enabling them to do in-depth research with faculty in the College. Students work on their projects full time for ten weeks in the summer and continue to do three credits of research in the following academic year. The research done during the academic year may be part of the senior thesis for the Degree with Distinction or Honors Degree with Distinction.

SUMMER UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH FELLOWSHIPS
About 35 fellowships of varying amounts provide partial support for undergraduate researchers in all fields who would like to devote a substantial amount of time to work on their projects during the summer. This fellowship is especially appropriate for students who wish to take a summer class and/or hold a job or internship for part of a summer in addition to doing research.

RESEARCH CENTERS
Students interested in research should be aware that the University serves as home to a number of specialized research units described in the chapter “Research Centers, Institutes, and Special Facilities” in this catalog. Many of these units offer internship opportunities for undergraduate students.
