1 The Undergraduate Honors Programs School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences Introduction The Honors Program of the School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences (BBS) serves students in five undergraduate programs: Child Learning and Development (CLDP), Cognitive Science (CGS), Neuroscience (NSC), Psychology (PSY), and Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology (SPAU). The mission of the Program is to provide enriching educational experiences in a mentoring environment for academically gifted and highly motivated students. The program helps students become involved in research so that they may complete an Honors Thesis and gain the skills necessary to succeed in their post-baccalaureate work. The Honors Program consists of a Honors Thesis Core completed by all students. A Dean s Scholars' Tier is completed in addition to the Thesis Core by a subset of students who wish to pursue doctoral-level professional careers and to serve the School of BBS. Students who complete the Honors Thesis Core of the Honors Program are awarded distinctive white Honor s Stoles to wear at commencement. The notation of BBS School Honors appears on their official transcripts. Students who additionally complete the Dean's Scholars' Tier receive a Certificate of Award from the Dean of BBS, which is suitable for framing. The Director of the Honors Program is Dr. S.W. Jerger. Below we overview the Honors Program briefly and then detail its Honors Thesis Core and its Dean's Scholars' Tier.

Successfully complete Honors Thesis and submit by due date Introduction Honors Thesis Core The goal of the Honors Thesis Core of the Honors Program is to help students become selfsufficient and self-motivated learners who can reach their highest potentials. The Honors Thesis Core attempts to expand students' skills through enriching educational experiences that will promote greater success in admission to top-ranked graduate schools and/or employment in chosen careers. A primary requirement of the Core is the completion of an Honors Thesis. The Thesis process is important in teaching students how to 1) gather relevant information, 2) see it more clearly, 3) organize it more logically, 4) understand it more coherently, and 5) report it more persuasively - indispensable skills in a society requiring individuals to evaluate critically what they see, hear, and read. Minimum Criteria for Admission and Graduation Admission qualifications: 1) at least 12 graded hours at UT Dallas including 2 core courses in the student's major, and 2) an overall UT Dallas GPA of at least 3.5. Criteria for graduation with BBS School Honors: 2 _Revised 2013
3 1) at least 30 graded hours at UT Dallas, 2) at least 12 of the hours in BBS major core courses, 3) an overall UT Dallas GPA of at least 3.5, 4) successful completion of the Honors Seminar (CLDP/CGS/NSC/PSY/SPAU 4375) or approved substitute activities 5) successful completion of an Honors Thesis (grade of at least B+ from both the faculty sponsor and second reader). Types of Theses: Empirical Research vs Library Research 1) Empirical Research. An empirical-research Honors Thesis generally reports the results of a project in which students gathered experimental data to answer a research question(s). In most cases, students work with their faculty sponsors and second readers to 1) derive a welldefined research question(s) and 2) design and conduct a study that yields evidence to answer the question. The structure of the resulting Thesis is similar to a journal article with sections that introduce the research question; describe the methodology; report, analyze, and discuss the results; and draw conclusions. In some cases, students who work in the research laboratories of their faculty sponsors and/or second readers may 1) derive a research question consistent with the lab's goals and 2) answer the question with an analysis of the lab's archival data. An empirical research Thesis (roughly pages) usually requires at least two semesters for completion. 2) Library Research. A library-research Honors Thesis generally reports an integrative, analytic, and novel synthesis of the academic evidence in order to address a research question(s). In most cases, students work with their faculty sponsors and second readers to 1) derive a well-defined research question(s) and 2) identify the body of peer-reviewed, published research that yields evidence to answer the question. The structure of the resulting Theses vary. Models of some appropriate structures may be found in Pan, M. Ling (2011). Preparing literature reviews. Qualitative and quantitative approaches, 4th Edition. Los Angeles: Pyrczak Publishing. ISBN A library research Thesis (roughly 25 to 35 pages) may be completed in one full semester by some students, but two semesters are recommended. Typical Time Course of Participation 1. In the fall semester, all BBS students receive an stating the minimal criteria for admission to the Honors Program and inviting junior-level students who qualify to contact Mr. Kent Mecklenburg, academic support coordinator, or one of the BBS advisors for an enrollment form to be submitted to Dr. S.W. Jerger. 2. In the spring semester of their junior year, students in the Honors Program enroll in the Honors Seminar (CLDP/CGS/NSC/PSY/SPAU 4375). The Seminar attempts to hone the knowledge skills of critical thinking, creativity, and effective written and oral communication. By the end of the Honors Seminar, all students also will have determined 1) a Thesis approach (empirical or library research), 2) a research question(s), and 3) a faculty sponsor and second 3 _Revised 2013
4 reader. Some students who are engaged in research in academic laboratories may qualify to substitute other activities for the Honors Seminar (NSC students, please see Dr. Tres Thompson; other students, please see Dr. Jerger). Such students must independently determine their Thesis type, research question, and faculty sponsor and second reader by the end of the spring semester of their junior year. 3. In the fall semester of their senior year, students in the Honors Program are encouraged to enroll in either 4v98 or 4v99 (Directed Research or Individual Study) with their faculty sponsors to provide protected time to 1) gather the data for their Theses and 2) evaluate and discuss their evidence with their faculty sponsors and second readers. 4. During the semester in which the student will graduate (typically spring semester of the senior year), students are encouraged to enroll in 4397 (Honors Thesis) with their faculty sponsors to provide some protected time to 1) write their Theses and 2) evaluate and revise their Theses with the assistance of their faculty sponsors and second readers. Submission of Honors Thesis for Consideration of Graduating with BBS Honors Submission of Honors Thesis Application Form. At the beginning of the semester in which the student will graduate, the student must submit the Honors Thesis Application form (contact Mr. Kent Mecklenburg, GR 4.528) to the Honors Program. This must be done no later than the last day to drop a class without a "W" (see academic calendar). The student's proposed topic/type of Thesis and his/her faculty sponsor and second reader must be approved by the Director of the Honors Program and the Associate Dean. Submission of Honors Thesis. The completed Honors Thesis must be formatted in APA style and submitted in electronic form to Dr. S.W. Jerger (sjerger@utdallas.edu) and Mr. Kent Mecklenburg (kentm@utdallas.edu) by the last day of classes (see academic calendar). Each student must also submit his/her completed Thesis to turnitin.com (see Dr. Jerger for password). Theses must be received by the due date for students' names to be published in the Honors Convocation Program and for white Honors Stoles to be available to wear at commencement. Submission of Thesis Evaluation Form. Students must obtain and complete their section of the Thesis Evaluation Form (contact Mr. Kent Mecklenburg, GR 4.528) and give copies of the Thesis Evaluation Form to both the faculty sponsor and second reader Submission of Thesis Grade by Faculty Sponsor and Second Reader. The faculty sponsor and second reader must complete and submit their Thesis Evaluation Forms to Dr. S. W. Jerger, (GR or sjerger@utdallas.edu) on or before the ending date of the final grading period (see academic calendar). Acceptance of the Honors Thesis by the Honors Program requires a grade of at least B+ from both the faculty sponsor and second reader and approval of the Thesis by both the Director of the Honors Program and the Associate Dean. If both the faculty sponsor and second reader note that the Thesis is of exceptionally high quality (i.e., A+)., they may 4 _Revised 2013
5 recommend the Thesis to the Director of the Honors Program for consideration of receiving BBS School Honors with Distinction. BBS School Honors versus University Honors Students who qualify may earn both School and University Latin Honors by meeting the requirements of both programs. Requirements for graduating with BBS School Honors are detailed above. Requirements for graduating with University Latin Honors are 1) at least 45 graded hours at UT Dallas and 2) an overall GPA of at least for summa cum laude, for magna cum laude, and for cum laude (estimated GPA values for ; actual values may vary). Introduction Dean's Scholars' Tier The overall goal of the Dean's Scholars' Tier is to provide an enriching educational experience in a mentoring environment for the subset of academically gifted and highly motivated students who wish to pursue doctoral degrees after graduation from UT Dallas (PhD, MD, or JD). Doctoral graduate programs are highly competitive, and the Dean s Scholars' Tier was created to assist students in becoming highly competitive, successful applicants. The Dean's Scholars' Tier has stricter admission criteria and includes additional seminar and service requirements. Minimum Criteria for Admission and Graduation Admission qualifications are the same as for the Honors Thesis Core with the following exception: 1) Enrollment is a competitive process in which a faculty committee selects participants from the pool of applicants. 2) Students must have declared a major in at least one BBS undergraduate program 3) an overall UT Dallas GPA of at least ) At least 30 hours to complete prior to graduation. Criteria for graduation with BBS School Honors are the same as for the Honors Thesis Core with the following exception: 1) an overall UT Dallas GPA of at least 3.6, 2) successful completion of the Dean's Scholars' Seminar (CLDP/CGS/NSC/PSY/SPAU 4v90), 3) successful completion of a service contribution to the School of BBS for each semester of participation. 4) successful submission of application to graduate as a Dean's Scholar. Typical Time Course of Participation 5 _Revised 2013
6 1. In the spring semester, all BBS students receive an stating the minimal criteria for admission to the Deans' Scholars' Program and inviting sophomore-level students who qualify to contact Mr. Kent Mecklenburg (GR 4.528) for an application form to be submitted to Dr. S. W. Jerger. The date for submitting the completed application, including the required letters of recommendation, will be stated on the form. Accepted applicants will be notified via approximately two weeks after the receipt of the applications. 2. In the fall semester of their junior year, the Dean's Scholars enroll in the Scholars' Seminar (CLDP/CGS/NSC/PSY/SPAU 4v90) The Seminar attempts to introduce the Scholars to the quality and demands of professional life in a variety of doctoral-level careers and help them develop into highly competitive applicants and independent learners. The latter aim is supported in part by promoting leadership skills and abilities to maintain your excellence in a changing world. Time Course of Unification of Dean's Scholars' and Honors Thesis Participants In the Spring semester of their junior year, the Dean's Scholars enroll in the Honors Seminar (CLDP/CGS/NSC/PSY/SPAU 4375) and transition into the regular Honors Program, along with completing their Service requirements to the School of BBS for each semester of participation. In the Fall and Spring semesters of their senior year, the Dean's Scholars continue within the regular Honors Program, along with completing their Service requirements for each semester of participation. The Service requirements must be documented appropriately on the application to graduate as a Dean's Scholar that is submitted to the School the last day of classes in the semester in which the student will graduate. FAQ 1. Which BBS faculty can serve as faculty sponsors/second readers for Honors Theses? Any member of the tenure-track faculty with appropriate expertise may serve as a mentor with one exception. Two newly appointed faculty members who have never mentored a BBS Honors Thesis may not serve as the only mentors for an Honors Thesis. Please note: 1) All mentors of an Honors Thesis must be physically present in Dallas; mentors away from Dallas on sabbatical, etc. may not mentor an Honors Thesis. 2) Select nontenure-track faculty may serve as mentors with the approval of the Director of the Honors Program and the Associate Dean. 2. Can faculty of other universities/medical schools or UT Dallas programs other than BBS serve as faculty sponsors? Faculty of other UT Dallas programs or other local universities/medical schools with appropriate expertise may serve as mentors if approved by the Director of the Honors Program 6 _Revised 2013
7 and the Associate Dean with the following exception. One mentor, either the faculty sponsor or the second reader, must be a member of the BBS faculty with relevant expertise. 3. Can seniors apply to enroll in the Honors Program? Senior level students may apply to enroll in the Honors Program only if 1) they have been a Research Assistant for a UT Dallas faculty member with regular participation in research meetings for at least two semesters, and 2) the UT Dallas faculty member for whom the student is a Research Assistant requests waiver of the enrollment criteria. 4. What if my GPA falls below the admission criteria while I'm in the Honors Program? Students whose GPAs fall below the admission criteria may continue in the Honors Program on probationary status for one semester. At the end of that semester, they will exit the Program if the GPA continues to be below the admission criteria. Please note: To graduate with BBS Honors, a student's GPA must meet the criterion for participation in the Honors Program at the time of graduation. Q: Can students conduct their Thesis research off campus? All Honors Theses must be carried out in collaboration with UT Dallas research labs or on the UT Dallas campus with UT Dallas faculty with one exception. BBS students who are studying/working in a mentored, structured environment off campus (e.g., laboratories at UT Southwestern) may conduct their Theses at that site (with approval of the Honors Program). Please note: 1) All Theses must be carried out in a mentored, structured environment, and all faculty mentors and the Honors Program must approve students' projects. 2) The directors of the off-campus laboratories must formally consent to the use of their labs data in students' Theses or must serve as the Faculty Sponsor or Second Reader for students' Theses. EXAMPLE: Students who are doing, or have done, a Green Fellowship may use their fellowship research as the basis of their Honors Theses. In this instance, the Green Fellowship mentor may serve as the Faculty Sponsor or Second Reader, along with one BBS faculty member with relevant expertise. As always, the research lab in which the work was carried out retains the ownership of the data. 6. May students use work produced in other classes in their Theses? No. The Thesis must represent a substantive new contribution that is developed in collaboration with the Thesis mentors. Although the research of the Thesis hopefully builds upon a student's previous learning experiences, no work produced for another course may be used in the Thesis. Please note: Data collected in a mentor's lab on- or off-campus during an independent research project/independent study project for which the student received academic credit may be used in the Thesis. 7. What is the difference between the Honors Thesis Core and the Dean's Scholars' Tier of the Honors Program? 7 _Revised 2013
8 A: The purpose of the Honors Thesis Core is to provide enriching educational experiences in a mentoring environment for all academically gifted and highly motivated students. The purpose of the Dean's Scholars' Tier is to supplement the above goal by additional enriching activities that will assist Scholars in becoming highly competitive, successful applicants to top-tier doctoral programs. With regard to admission, the criteria for admission to the Dean's Scholars' Tier are stricter. With regard to typical participation, the Dean's Scholars' Tier requires one more semester of coursework (the Dean's Scholars' Seminar in addition to the Honors Seminar), and a service activity for the School of BBS, such as assisting at Welcome Week, Parents' Week, etc., for each semester of participation. 8. Can I graduate with BBS School Honors by participating in only the Honors Thesis Core or the Dean's Scholars' Tier? All students, including the Dean's Scholars, must complete the Honors Thesis Core to graduate with BBS School Honors. The students who additionally complete the Dean's Scholars' Tier receive an additional Certificate of Award from the Dean of the School of BBS that is suitable for framing. 8 _Revised 2013
