Honors Requirements

A student who is majoring in environment, economics and politics may apply for honors if the student has a minimum grade point average in the major of 11.0 (A-). This includes all the courses counted toward the major. An A or A- must also be earned on the Senior Thesis. The student should inform the Scripps EEP advisor or Professor Morhardt in the W. M. Keck Science Department of intention, preferably by the latter part of the student’s junior year.

The honors candidate who fulfills these criteria is required further to defend the senior thesis before the thesis readers, plus two additional faculty representatives—one from the W. M. Keck Science Department, and another from either the politics or economics department at Scripps. It will be the responsibility of the student, once accepted for honors candidacy, to make all arrangements for the defense.
