During the last full academic year before graduating, each student in University Honors will design, propose, and complete a Senior Honors Project on a topic applicable to that student's major and personal academic interests. Each student will work with a faculty project advisor. The completed project will be featured in the student's presentation at the annual Senior Honors and Undergraduate Research Symposium, which is held at Arkansas Tech University each Spring semester.
