Honors Program

公共卫生澳门威尼斯人网上赌场荣誉项目为选定的学生提供了与教师导师一起进行为期一年的个人兴趣项目的机会.  学生有机会获得设计和实施独立澳门威尼斯人网上赌场项目的实践技能, and continue development of their academic skills in oral and written communication. Public health research honors projects are marked by intellectual engagement and coherence, and by educational soundness and continuity.

Public Health Research Honors Eligibility

Students must meet all program eligibility requirements, apply to the public health research honors program, and receive an offer of acceptance from the Public Health Steering Committee (PHSC).

Typically, 公共卫生专业的学生将被邀请在大二和大三之间的夏季考虑澳门威尼斯人网上赌场荣誉项目，基于以下标准:

  • 学生应完成五门公共卫生一般核心课程中的四门，成绩至少为3.60 grade-point average
  • Students must have a declared public health major
  • Students should be making good progress toward completing their degree, i.e. 学生应完成至少两门与公共卫生专业相关的核心课程和至少一门与公共卫生专业相关的选修课程
  • Students should have at least a 3.60 in their public health major

To graduate with research honors, students must complete the requirements of the honors program. Upon completion of the honors program, students may receive degrees with honors, with high honors, or with the highest honors.

Requirements for Research Honors

The awarding of honors is determined by the criteria listed below:

  • 学生必须完成五门公共卫生相关通识课程中的四门，成绩为3.60 grade-point average.  The five General Core Courses must be completed by the end of their junior year.
  • Students must have officially declared their public health major.
  • Students must have a cumulative grade-point average of at least a 3.60 in the major.
  • Students must successfully complete 3 credit hours of Public Health Honors Seminar 超过本专业要求的学时(大三1个PHLT 389学时(最好是大三春季)), 1 credit hour in PHLT 389 fall semester of senior year, and 1 credit hour in PHLT 389 spring semester of senior year). PHLT 389 is a course.
  • Students must successfully complete 7 credit hours of Public Health Honors Research with an approved faculty advisor, 超过专业要求的学时(大三春季学期PHLT 393课程1学时), 3 credit hours in PHLT 393 fall semester of the senior year, and 3 credit hours in PHLT 393 for the spring semester of the senior year). PHLT 393 is an independent study course.
  • Completion of at least one honors course, as designated with an H.
  • Completion of an Honors Thesis which must be at least A- quality.

具有澳门威尼斯人网上赌场荣誉的专业只授予那些特别寻求并完成其所有要求的学生. 要满足这些要求需要周密的计划，并且必须在规定的期限内完成. 

参与公共健康项目的教职员工将尽其所能帮助学生, but it is the individual student’s responsibility to meet the requirements on time.

Senior Honors Thesis

荣誉论文是在大三和大四期间完成的一个项目的广泛和实质性的报告, but it may be based in part on work performed earlier than this. 荣誉论文的最终版本应该对学生的澳门威尼斯人网上赌场领域有实质性的贡献, 所以标准应该是适合学生写作的公共卫生学科的.  To qualify for honors, a thesis should represent original thought or be an exceptional conceptualization of a problem.  The thesis must meet the following standards, 由指导老师和公共卫生指导委员会(PHSC)指定的第二名读者评判.

Thesis Expectations

论文必须通过作为论文项目的一部分所做的工作来回答一个原始问题.

  • “原创”是指该问题尚未在现有已发表的作品中以与拟议作品相同的方式提出和回答.
  • “可回答的”意味着学生提出的论点和证据可以被合理地认为是对问题的回答.

论文必须有效地提供原创性的证据或论据来支持正在澳门威尼斯人网上赌场的问题. The thesis must 提供一个有说服力的书面论据，向读者解释该作品如何解决所提出的问题.

The evidence or argument may involve:

  • A collection of documents or observations that have not been used in previous scholarly work.
  • Fresh interpretations or analyses of existing and previously studied data.

The thesis must explain the public health relevance of the question it sets out to answer. 它还必须解释学生的原始工作如何与现有的公共卫生学术工作相关并可能对其作出贡献.
