The Honors Program in Sociology combines one of the best features of a liberal arts college with those of a major research university by offering students the opportunity to do independent research with the guidance of faculty mentors. The research culminates in a written report, a thesis. Completion of an honors thesis demonstrates a student’s discipline and motivation as well as strong writing and analytical skills—assets for which prospective employers and graduate school admissions committees will be looking.

The department hosts an information meeting about the Honors Program in Sociology in early October each year. Attendees can meet the faculty honors director, hear from current honors students, and get all of their questions about the program and your application answered.

Dinner is provided! Please RSVP at: https://sessions.studentlife.umich.edu/p/track/1419
