Students who are accepted to Departmental Honors, will work closely with members of the faculty as they complete their research project.

To be eligible to participate in Departmental Honors, students must have a UT GPA of at least 3.00 and a GPA of at least 3.50 in coursework in the School of Human Ecology that is required for the degree.
