Honors Undergraduate Thesis
The Honors Undergraduate Thesis (HUT) program is the oldest and most prestigious undergraduate research program at UCF. HUT provides juniors and seniors from all disciplines the opportunity to engage in original and independent research or creative activity as principal investigators and independent scholars.
Over the course of two to four semesters, students work closely with a faculty committee to research, write, defend, and publish an original thesis that serves as an honors capstone product of their undergraduate career. This thesis is published through the university library and is available to researchers worldwide through electronic databases.
HUT Program Tracks
Students earn the Honors distinction by completing one of these thesis options:
|
Honors in the Major (HIM) Students complete original research or creative work in their major. |
Interdisciplinary Thesis (HIT) Students complete original research or creative work in their minor or in a discipline other than their major. |
Creative Research is also encouraged. Students craft an original creative project and a critical analysis, which together constitute the thesis.
