Honors in Physics
To be a candidate for departmental honors in physics, a major must submit a thesis describing original research carried out by the candidate under the direction of a member of the department. In addition, the candidate must have attained a minimum average in the eight lecture courses applied to the major, except those taken in the final semester of the senior year, of B (85.0) for honors and B+ (88.3) for high honors.
Since 2008 all Honors Theses have been submitted to WesScholar, Wesleyan's online depository of scholarly work.
