Students must also complete the Undergraduate Registration Requirement and the degree requirements of their home school.

Double-counting note: Weinberg College prohibits double-counting a department course toward some other major or minor, except where this is explicitly permitted in this catalog. Weinberg College does allow double-counting a department course toward a general bachelor's degree requirement (i.e. degree requirements other than majors or minors). Other programs or schools may have their own restrictions that supersede this, so check the relevant parts of this catalog for possible limits.

NOTE: First-Year Seminars (College Seminars, First-Year Writing Seminars) may not be applied to the major requirements.

Honors in Black Studies

Majors with strong academic records and an interest in pursuing honors must notify the director of undergraduate studies during fall of senior year. To qualify for honors, a student must complete a substantial senior-year research project. With the director, the student selects a thesis adviser. The thesis adviser can be a member or an affiliate of the Department. Completion of the thesis ordinarily requires at least two quarters of research and writing. During one or both of those quarters students may register for BLK_ST 399-0 Independent Study with the thesis adviser. This course counts as either 1 of the elective courses in the major or as the senior-course requirement.

Students whose theses and grades meet department criteria are recommended to the college for graduation with honors. For more information contact the director of undergraduate studies and see Honors in the Major.
