BGS majors who wish to graduate with honors must meet the following
requirements: 1) a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.5
within the ILP, and an overall grade point average of at least 3.25; 2)
successful completion of a Senior Honors thesis (directly related to
the ILP title) which includes earning six hours of Arts and Sciences

from the ILP component, with approval of the BGS Director or their
representative, to direct the thesis. The thesis is to be defended orally
before a committee composed of the thesis director, a representative of
the BGS department, and a representative of the honors program.
