Honors

Undergraduate Spanish at Emory
Honors Program

Advanced students in Spanish are encouraged to apply to the Honors program. To qualify for the Honors program in Spanish students must be Spanish majors with a 3.50 GPA and have two semesters left in their senior year. Students must furthermore secure the sponsorship of a faculty member who will be their advisor for the honors year and whose area of expertise responds to the student's proposed topic of study. It is advisable that students consult with faculty from whom they have previously taken courses. Students would then enroll in Spanish 495A in the fall and in Spanish 495B WR in the spring. In the fall semester student and advisor meet periodically to discuss the syllabus agreed upon at the beginning of the term. At the end of the semester the student writes a summary of his/her research in Spanish and gets a grade for the course. Notice that Spanish 495A does not count as one of the 400-level seminars required for the major but Spanish 495B does. In the spring, students focus on writing their honors thesis, which may be in Spanish or in English and which should ideally be completed by April 1st so that they can provide their committee with time to read it prior to their defense. The deadline for completion of the Honors Program each year is the last day of classes, at which point the final version of the thesis must be submitted to the College Office.
