Honors students are expected to complete 15 credits of Honors coursework in the major or a related area and to write an Honors thesis. For students in the IB/M program in the Neag School of Education, the Honors courses are primarily focused on preparing students for thesis work. The Neag School usually graduates from 4-10 Honors Scholars each year. Students begin the program in the fall of their junior year and usually have most of their thesis written before beginning student teaching in the spring of their senior year. Dr. Catherine Little (catherine.little@uconn.edu) coordinates the Honors program in the Neag School of Education.
