Overview
The Honors & Scholars Research Project offers an opportunity for students to receive Honors & Scholars Program credit for departmental honors coursework or a faculty-mentored scholarly or creative project.
Only 1 Honors & Scholars Research Project may be used in fulfillment of Honors & Scholars Program requirements.
An Honors & Scholars Research Project typically takes place in an upper-level independent research or capstone course (e.g., 391, 393, 493, 495/496, 499, etc.). Students must have approval from the program or department in which this course takes place before applying for an Honors & Scholars Research Project. Note: An Honors & Scholars Research Project cannot be used to replace or supplant departmental requirements.
Students who complete an Honors & Scholars Research Project are expected to disseminate the outcome of their work through a publication, presentation, exhibit, or performance (such as TCNJ’s Celebration of Student Achievement or the Journal of Student Scholarship or other appropriate venue).
