Important Thesis Dates and Deadlines

A Few Notes On Thesis Deadlines:  

• Your department or thesis committee may have discipline-specific deadlines that take precedence over those published on this page.
• If your department or thesis committee do not have discipline-specific deadlines, you can use the default deadlines published below.
• If your department doesn't have deadlines, or if you and your thesis advisor work out a different timeline, the student and advisor should agree to the specialized deadlines in writing. Absent such a written agreement, UHP can only enforce our general published deadlines (below) in the event of a disagreement.

+ Deadlines for Fall 2024 Theses

• June 25, 2024: Thesis proposal due. The thesis title, brief prospectus, and the committee chair must be identified (other committee members will only be listed on the final form)
• October 28, 2024: In consultation with the committee, the student sets the date for a public presentation or oral exam, if required by the department, which must be at least two weeks before graduation.
• At least five weeks before the public presentation (if required by department) or by November 25, 2024: Committee chair(s) must approve the thesis draft as final enough to circulate to the entire committee. Committee members then have two weeks to read the draft and require revisions. Revisions suggested later than two weeks after committee members receive the draft will be considered advisory only (i.e., not required). Students whose work is deemed by the committee chair(s) to be not ready by this point will likely have their graduation delayed and/or not be able to graduate with Latin Honors.
• At least three weeks before the public presentation (if required by department) or by December 9, 2024: Student receives committee revision requests and begins to incorporate these.
• At least one week before the public presentation (if required by department) or by December 16, 2024: Student submits final thesis for approval.
• At the public presentation (if required by department) or by December 23, 2024: Committee observes and evaluates entire thesis project, submitting digital form. Students whose work is deemed by the committee to be not ready by this point will likely have their graduation delayed and/or not be able to graduate with Latin Honors.

+ Deadlines for Spring 2025 Theses

• December 1, 2024: Thesis proposal due. The thesis title, brief prospectus, and the committee chair must be identified (other committee members will only be listed on the final form)
• March 24, 2025: In consultation with the committee, the student sets the date for a public presentation or oral exam, if required by the department, which must be at least two weeks before graduation.
• At least five weeks before the public presentation (if required by department) or by April 14, 2025: Committee chair(s) must approve the thesis draft as final enough to circulate to the entire committee.

The Mathematics Honors Program provides opportunities and assistance to talented undergraduates hoping to graduate with Latin Honors in mathematics.

Eligibility

Requirements for Math majors

Senior Latin Honors thesis

One requirement for graduating with Latin honors in mathematics is to:

• Take the required thesis course (HCOL 3101H or HCOL 3102H).
• Complete an honors thesis under the supervision of a  faculty mentor .
• Summarize your thesis work in a printed scientific poster.
• Give a short public presentation of your work.
• Submit to an oral exam by your faculty committee (summa cum laude students only).

Normally students contact a faculty member who works in an area of interest. That faculty member, if willing, will suggest a topic of study, or in some cases, a topic of research that is suitable.

Honors Math courses

+ lower division courses, math 1571h/1572h: honors calculus i/ii.

This is the introductory Honors Calculus sequence. It begins with a discussion of functions, limits, and continuity. The course then proceeds to the main topics of differentiation and integration of functions of a single real variable. One then studies the properties of these key operations, including the chain rule, the fundamental theorem of calculus, and methods of integration. Applications from the physical and biological sciences are emphasized. Applications include max-min problems, related rates, arc length, volumes, and surface area of solids of revolution. Sequences and series are also studied. The course strives to provide an introduction to the mathematical method of proof and to mathematical rigor.

MATH 2573H/2574H: Honors Calculus III/IV

This course is a two-semester course covering multivariable calculus, including differentiation of functions of several variables, multiple integration, discussion of chain rule, inverse function theorem, implicit function theorem, multiple integration, and Fubini’s theorem. Applications include max-min problems using Lagrange multipliers, volume, and surface area. The course also treats vector calculus, vector fields, div, curl, grad, Green’s theorem, Stokes’ theorem, and Gauss’ theorem. Also covered are linear algebra, including the study of eigenvalues and eigenvectors, and the application to diagonalization of suitable linear transformations. The course provides an introduction to ordinary differential equations, particularly first-order equations, constant-coefficient linear equations, variation of parameters, first-order systems, and Laplace transforms. Applications from the physical sciences will be emphasized.

MATH 3592H/3593H: Honors Mathematics I/II

This course is an Honors course designed for students who are interested in pursuing mathematics beyond basic calculus or are interested in why theorems hold and wish to understand the mathematical reasoning underlying mathematical results, or who enjoy doing mathematics for its own sake. As such, the course will help prepare students for advanced undergraduate courses and graduate courses in math. The course emphasizes mathematical proof and rigor. It is a 5-credit course and is more demanding than 2573H-4H, although both courses have a large overlap in content. While this course covers in depth the topics of multivariable calculus and linear algebra and vector calculus, it does not cover in any detail the introduction to ordinary differential equations. It is recommended that students needing or desiring this subject take an additional course (several excellent courses in ordinary differential equations are offered at the 5000 level). Some topics covered in 3592H-3H (which are not covered in 2573H-4H) include greater attention to n-variable cases (n greater than 3), manifolds, the spectral theorem for real symmetric matrices and applications to classification of real quadratic forms, applications to max-min-saddlepoint classification of critical points, differential forms on manifolds and exterior differentiation, integration on manifolds, and generalized Stokes’ theorem.

+ Upper division courses

Math 5285h/5286h - honors: fundamental structures of algebra i/ii.

This course introduces the study of basic algebraic structures, sub-objects, quotient objects, and maps between objects. In particular, groups, rings, modules, and fields are treated. Some topics covered are the Sylow theorems, factorizations in integral domains, principal ideal domains, unique factorization domains, chain conditions in commutative rings, structure theorem for finitely generated modules over a pid, applications to linear algebra (Jordan normal form), finite fields, and elementary Galois theory.

MATH 5345H - Honors: Topology

This course focuses on abstract topological spaces, both the concrete and the very formal, the non-intuitive and the geometric. Along with an emphasis on the ability to effectively communicate mathematical arguments, in this course, students will develop qualitative tools to characterize topological spaces (e.g., connectedness, compactness, second countable, Hausdorff...), develop tools to identify when two spaces are equivalent (homeomorphic), and explore examples and counter-examples that inform the development of the subject.  Several important results will be proved, such as the Tychonoff theorem on products, but an equal focus will be placed on understanding examples coming from geometry, algebra, and number theory. Other topics include the fundamental group and, if time permits, covering spaces.

MATH 5615H/5616H - Honors: Introduction to Analysis I/II

This course gives a rigorous treatment of basic analysis. It covers metric spaces, convergence, connectedness, compactness, uniform convergence of sequences, and series of functions in one and several variables. Also covered are the Stone-Weierstrass theorem, rigorous development of differentiation and Riemann-Stieltjes integration, Taylor’s theorem, Implicit function theorem, and Stokes’ theorem.

Individual Research, DURP, and Honors Thesis

Several changes occurred with independent work between faculty and undergraduate students as of Fall 2020. Both course numbers and course names changed, as did the processes for registration. The new course numbers and names are as follows:

• POL 3994: Directed Research: Distinguished Undergraduate Research Program (DURP)
• POL 4993: Honors Thesis: Directed Studies (SEE DETAILS BELOW)
• POL 4994: Directed Research: Individual

Alongside these changes, came a new online student/faculty contract form through WorkflowGen. The typical process can be found outlined in the  Directed Activity Contract workflow guide . 

The student should initiate the  new online contract form  to the faculty with whom they will be working. Before they begin, they will need to know the following information:

• Internet ID : (this will be the start of the email for the faculty mentor. For example, poladvis would be the Internet ID for  [email protected] ).
• Term : (Summer, Fall, Spring)
• Year : 
• Course Subject : This will be “POL”
• POL 3993-DURP (Previously POL 3070-DURIP)
• POL 4993-Honors Thesis (Previously POL 4900H-Honors Thesis) 
• POL 4994-Directed Research (Previously POL 4970-Directed Research/Study)
• Section Number (optional) : This will be “001”
• Number of Credits Desired : This will be agreed upon by the faculty
• Grading Basis : If students want this to count towards your major, they must choose A-F only!
• Project Title : This can be a working title
• Project Description : Help your student best define the project.
• Methods, Resources, Strategies to be used : Help your student to list the methods, resources, and/or strategies they will be using for this project.
• Additional Comments (optional) : PLEASE BE AWARE - We will be looking for how the student will be graded, ie: paper (details on length), presentation, etc. Be sure that you define this for your student.
• HONORS : Students completing an Honors thesis have the choice to complete the thesis over 1-2 semesters for a total of 3-6 credits over these two semesters. Each time they register, they have the ability to register for 1-6 credits. For those students planning to complete an Honor Thesis over 2 semesters, a grade of “X” will be entered as a placeholder for the first semester. A second contract form must be submitted for the 2nd semester which will allow them to obtain the permission number for the 2nd semester. 
• SUMMA : Students planning to complete a Summa Honors Thesis will need 2 additional faculty readers lined up before the form is passed on to Josie Kahlenbeck for approval. Therefore, if you are working with a Summa Honors Thesis student, be sure they have included the names and email addresses of the two additional faculty readers. Once this form reaches Josie, she will not be checking to verify additional readers.

Once the faculty has received and reviewed the form, it must be routed forward. For POL 3994 and 4993, route to the academic approver Josie Kahlenbeck ( [email protected] ). For POL 4994, route to the academic approver Teri Caraway ( [email protected] ). Josie is the final approver for all forms and will provide the student with the registration instructions and permission number at that time.

Senior Capstone

For students who declared the Philosophy major in Spring 2022 or later:

  Take PHIL 4888/4888H Senior Capstone (4 credits) in your final Spring semester.

PHIL 4888/4888H Senior Capstone (4 cr) will culminate students' work in the major. It offers the opportunity to engage and combine skills in analysis, critical thought and clear and cogent expression developed throughout the course of undergraduate work in philosophy.  Students will identify a provisional paper or paper topic prior to enrolling in the capstone course and will spend the semester writing, expanding, and revising this paper under the supervision of the faculty teaching the capstone.  Finished capstone papers will be roughly 15 pages.  Students will also be required to give a presentation about their papers.  Students who serve on the editorial board of the undergraduate philosophy journal may seek permission from the Director of Graduate Studies to substitute their editorial work for the capstone paper, but must still give a presentation in the capstone course and complete all other course requirements.  The capstone course will incorporate career readiness elements, and overall will strive to provide students with a culminating shared experience as philosophy majors. 

PHIL 4888 / 4888H will be offered once a year in the Spring semester.  PHIL 4888H is the Honors version of the Philosophy Senior Capstone Course and will be offered concurrently with PHIL 4888. Honors students will complete an Honors thesis for their capstone papers as per the Honors thesis requirements, including a defense of the thesis in front of a three-member faculty committee.  Honors students will also present their Honors theses to the capstone course and complete all other capstone requirements, along with additional requirements as determined by the faculty teaching the capstone.  The capstone course will provide students with guidance focused on thesis writing and an opportunity to be part of a cohort of thesis-writers in philosophy.

To register for PHIL 4888/4888H Senior Capstone (4 cr):

1.  Pick up a Senior Capstone Contract in the main office, 831 Heller Hall.

2.  Complete the contract and return it to Judy Grandbois in the main office.  She will give you a permission number for PHIL 4888 / 4888H. 

3.  Use this number to register for PHIL 4888 / 4888H.

4.  You are ready to go!

In exceptional circumstances students may seek approval from the Director of Undergraduate Studies to substitute PHIL 4893 Senior Capstone:  Directed Study (1 credit) for PHIL 4888/4888H, but must still meet the 33 credit minimum for the major by taking an additional 3 (or 4) credit philosophy course. 

There are four options for PHIL 4893 Senior Capstone:  Directed Study:  1) complete a research paper of about 15 pages in several drafts written in consultation with a faculty supervisor; 2) complete such a paper (15 pages and in several drafts recrafted in light of supervisor comments) concurrently with a philosophy course -- the paper must go beyond course requirements but may elaborate on a shorter or less rigorous paper written for the course; 3) complete all of the work for an 8xxx seminar (with instructor permission); 4) serve on the editorial board of the undergraduate philosophy journal and complete a writing assignment about this editorial work in consultation with a faculty supervisor.  Note: All references to page numbers assume double-spaced pages, one-inch margins, and 12-point font.

To register for PHIL 4893: Senior Capstone:  Directed Study (1 credit):

1.  Obtain approval from the Director of Undergraduate Studies to substitute PHIL 4893: Senior Capstone – Directed Study (1 cr) for PHIL 4888 / 4888H.  Note that you must still complete the 33 credit minimum for the Philosophy major.

2.  Find a faculty supervisor.  Your faculty supervisor is usually someone with whom you have taken a  class.  Contact the Director of Undergraduate Studies for help if you are having trouble finding someone to supervise your senior capstone directed study. 

3.  Pick up a Senior Capstone:  Directed Study Contract from the main office, 831 Heller Hall. 

4.   Fill out the contract, after consultation with your faculty supervisor.    

5.  Ask your supervisor to sign the contract. 

6.  Return the contract to Judy Grandbois in the main office.  She will give you a permission number for PHIL 4893.

7.  Use that number to register for PHIL 4893. 

8.  You are ready to go!

 For students who declared the Philosophy major prior to Spring 2022:

There are two options:

Option 1: take PHIL 4888/4888H  Senior Capstone (4 cr).  See above for more information about the Senior Capstone Course.

Option 2: complete PHIL 4893 Senior Capstone:  Directed Study (1 cr).  If you declared the Philosophy major prior to Spring 2022 you do not need approval from the Director of Undergraduate Studies for the Directed Study option, and you do not need to complete an additional 3 credits for the major (i.e. you are still subject to the minimum 30 credit requirement).  Please see the above description of the Senior Capstone: Directed Study for more information about how to register for and complete the Directed Study.  Students who fall into this category have two additional options, in addition to the four listed above: 5) complete all of the work for an 8xxx workshop that includes at least one written assignment beyond those for the associated 4xxx course (with instructor permission); 6) complete a "non-traditional" project with a faculty member's permission and guidance.
