Once admitted to BPhil degree candidacy, you have the option to enroll in Bachelor of Philosophy (BPhil) thesis research credits. The Frederick Honors College has created a specific course, HONORS 1905 (BPhil Thesis Research), which allows you to enroll in 1-6 credits associated with your thesis. You might find this option helpful if, for example, you wish to lighten your course load during a term in order to conduct your research and/or write your thesis.
Students admitted to BPhil degree candidacy are not required to enroll in these credits.
It may be to your advantage to arrange for research credits to be completed through your major department. You should discuss this with your thesis advisor and/or your major advisor when considering whether to enroll in HONORS 1905.
If you wish to register for HONORS 1905 credits, please do the following:
- Collaborate with your thesis advisor in the completion of the Bachelor of Philosophy Research Agreement form (PDF).
- Return the form to David Hornyak in the Honors College, who will provide you with a permission number to enroll in the class.
The grading for HONORS 1905 is S/NC (Satisfactory/No Credit). David Hornyak will issue the grade after consulting with your thesis advisor to determine whether you fufilled the terms of the contract in that semester.
HONORS 1905 is offered every term, including the summer.
