Students who have demonstrated marked excellence and an unusual degree of independence in their work may participate in the honors program supervised by a member of the Chinese or Japanese faculty.
Candidates for honors and high honors must achieve a minimum GPA of 3.3 and 3.7, respectively, in courses comprising the major and a cumulative GPA of 3.0 for both distinctions.
In addition, candidates for honors and high honors must successfully complete a thesis judged to be of A or A- quality by the major adviser and one other faculty member, and, for high honors, successfully complete an oral examination given by the major adviser and one other faculty member.
