An honors program is offered for eligible students who wish to
work with a faculty member on a research or program development
project. Participants graduate with honors and receive special recognition
on their diploma and transcript. Students participate in seminars
for honors students, and develop, carry out, and present the results
of a research project under the direction of a professor.

CDFS Honors Projects
In recent years, the department has had up to seven students each
year complete an honors project. Honors project results have been
published in scholarly journals and presented as papers at meetings
of professional organizations. Students have examined a number of
areas including:
- Teachers' roles in early childhood classrooms
- Parental beliefs and behaviors associated with children's school
readiness
- Family socialization of religious beliefs and values
- Factors associated with the longevity of long-distance dating
relationships in college
- Victimization and college adjustment
The CDFS honors program
is coordinated by Professor Gail Melson. She can be reached at 494-2948
or gmelson@purdue.edu.
