- Second year (HTM 29700): Students participate in an Honors Discussion Group in the HTM department. Dr. Mick La Lopa is the HTM faculty member who conducts this discussion group.
- Third year (HTM 39700): Students begin working one-on-one with HTM faculty mentors to complete their proposal describing the students' scholarly honors project. The credits can vary from 1-3 credit hours.
- Senior year (HTM 49700): Students work independently with their HTM faculty mentors on the approved research projects developed by the students. During the semester of the senior year in which the students will finalize their projects, they will present the results of their research projects in an Honors Colloquium Poster Session.
RECOGNITION
Students who successfully complete the senior year honors project will receive a certificate of recognition from Purdue University, be listed in the commencement program as participating in an honors program, and a statement of honor achievement will be included on their academic transcript.
