Undergraduate Honors and Scholarship Awards Honors in the Chemistry major is awarded to those students who have consistently attained an excellent level of understanding and practice in the required courses for the major. When a student petitionsto graduate the total record is automatically reviewed by the department's Scholarship-Awards-Honors Committee. The Committee looks for improvement or consistency to a high level of overall accomplishment in the student's coursework. The same guideline and procedures apply to the award of Highest Honors except for the obvious application of the highest academimc standards. Honors in the Thesis. It is possible for a senior thesis to be awarded honors in the thesis, a separate notation on the student's transcript. If the sponsoring professor recommends thesis honors, he/she selects a second faculty member to read the paper. Both must agree for thesis honors to be awarded. A list of undergraduate thesis titles from Chemistry majors is on page 27. Barry M. Goldwater Scholarship In 1986 Congress established the Barry M.
