Approved Research Methods Courses

Approved Research Methods Courses

Students who matriculated into the UMW Honors Program prior to Fall 2019 may prepare for their capstone project in one of two ways:

1. Take HONR 005, the Capstone Prep Workshop (0 credits).
2. Take one of the approved Research Methods classes from the list below.

Students who opt to take, or have already taken, an approved methods class are still welcome to take HONR 005.

Honors scholars who matriculated in or after Fall 2019 will fulfill this requirement with HONR 005, the Capstone Prep Workshop.
