This program is designed to provide eligible students an opportunity to participate in scholarly activity above and beyond the normal course of study provided within the Nursing Department. Students will have an opportunity to work closely with faculty advisors and pursue personal learning goals. We feel this program will stimulate scholarly interest and give recognition to deserving students for their achievements. The student must find a faculty member willing to serve as an honors advisor and another faculty member willing to serve as a second reader for the project. These faculty comprise the student's Honors Committee.
Faculty members accept Honors students at their own discretion.
It is not guaranteed that a student will be able to find a faculty advisor or second reader. The student will take the nursing research course during their junior year. A proposed time line for carrying out the project must also be developed with the advisor. The student will submit the Honors proposal to their Honors Committee for approval. The Honors project should be a scholarly project with a research or clinical focus.
