The Departmental Honors Program at UNCW provides the opportunity for superior students to engage in an advanced individual scholarly project in a specialized area. Honors work involves independent study under the supervision of a faculty member in the student's major field. This independent study should be outstanding scholarly work appropriate to the academic standards of the student's major discipline, and is usually completed in two 3-credit hour semesters or three 2-hour semesters. The results of the Honors work are summarized in a paper and presented orally before an examining committee.
The following links are to the titles of past project papers, and wherever possible, we have uploaded abstracts to give more details and information regarding the works. All of these papers are housed in Randall Library and can be searched for by going to http://library.uncw.edu/
