Program Overview

The Honors Program in Political Science at AUC is a culminating experience for senior students, involving research under the guidance of a faculty advisor. Students engage in small, closed-enrollment classes in the fall semester and complete a thesis in the spring semester, preparing them for further study or post-graduate employment. The thesis is evaluated based on substantive content, research design, and communication skills, and successful completion is a capstone achievement for students in the Political Science program.
