Honors contracts are enriched, creative and/or interdisciplinary projects that go above and beyond the scope of course requirements. Students work one-on-one with professors on a project of interest, and upload completed honors contracts into their four-year honors ePortfolio, along with reflective essays on the contract process. Faculty contract assessments are also uploaded into the ePortfolio, providing an archive of the student's best work over four years. Contracts can take any form: research paper, design project, laboratory experiment, creative writing, etc.
