• Thesis as Capstone Experience

Many of the departments and programs  at The University of Maine accept a completed Honors Thesis, in the major or a closely related area and with a faculty member from the department as advisor, as an alternative senior capstone experience.  In some cases, there may be additional requirements; for information specific to your department, please consult with your advisor or department chair.   [This is an ongoing initiative; check back often!]

• Reading Lists (Samples)

The reading list is one of the things that distinguishes The Honors College at The University of Maine from other similar programs. We believe that our Honors students should not only excel in their classes and produce independent scholarship in their chosen disciplines, but that they should have a strong foundation across the breadth of ideas and perspectives.
