The Bouvé Honors Program is part of the undergraduate comprehensive University Honors Program, with college-specific opportunities that complement the university-wide options. Bouvé Honors students have access to special seminars and other innovative research, enabling them to foster relationships with faculty members and other Honors students. Honors students fulfill Bouvé’s mission of developing future healthcare leaders by going beyond academic expectations while maintaining a focus on interprofessional studies through seminars, fostering relationships with faculty members through independent research, and promoting healthcare in the community through service learning and engagement, both in the U.S. and globally.
Honors students are required to do a capstone project, conducted with the support of a faculty member/researcher. The project offers students the opportunity to conduct research or complete a project as part of a course or directed study over two semesters. (Exceptions can be discussed with your academic advisor.) A student who successfully completes a project as specified by college requirements will receive Honors in the Discipline upon graduating. Students who are on track to earn a BS and stay for a clinical doctorate must have the honors designation awarded before completing their BS degree.
The purpose of the project is to foster creativity and exceptional scholarly work and assimilate students’ educational experiences. Bouvé capstone projects provide students with the opportunity to explore their chosen discipline in greater depth, with guidance from a faculty mentor. While the specific format and requirements for the projects vary by major, all share the goal of reflecting the challenges, opportunities, and measures of excellence most centrally associated with that discipline. The project will allow Bouvé Honors students to develop a deep and critical understanding of the methodology, theory, and policy aspects of the discipline, while also relating it to significant problems in healthcare
Students who have excelled academically but did not enter the Northeastern University Honors program are encouraged to submit a proposal and complete a Junior/Senior Honors project, allowing all Bouvé students the opportunity to graduate with College Honors Distinction.
The selection of a Research Project Advisor for the project is generally based on a student’s interest in a faculty member’s research area or past experience in a class with that professor. The Research Project Advisor is responsible for assisting with project design, assessing progress, advising, and submitting the project grade. Faculty members who are available to work with students on Honors research projects are listed in the Bouvé College Research Compendium.
For any questions regarding your billing or to learn about scholarships, please contact Student Financial Services.
Once you matriculate at Northeastern, the university expects you to complete all of your course work at Northeastern. There are a few standard exceptions to this policy. View the transfer credit guidelines to learn more.
For more information regarding the Honors Capstone Projects and next steps, students should contact the Bouvé Honors Faculty Coordinator specific to their majors to explore possibilities for their projects.
By submitting a proposal for a Bouvé Junior/Senior Honors project, you are also applying to graduate with College Honors Distinction. Once you have successfully completed your honors project, you will have earned College Honors Distinction.
The definition of scholarly work will depend on the type of Honors project. All of the projects will conclude with results that can benefit the healthcare community. All students will need to complete a paper of at least 10 pages, though traditional research papers will need to be longer in length in order to answer the necessary research questions.
Students doing other types of scholarly work, such as beginning a non-profit organization, doing service work abroad, or other creative projects, will need to provide evidence of research conducted to prepare for the project, the main objectives, and the end results. Simply acting as a teaching assistant for an Honors course, studying abroad, completing clinical work, or completing a service trip is not enough to qualify for an Honors project.
There must be a scholarly work produced at the end of the project. For more information on what constitutes a scholarly work, students can speak with their academic advisor.
This will depend on students’ majors, minors, and credits earned. If you have questions regarding how Honors will affect your curriculum plan, please visit your Academic Advisor in Bouvé’s Office of Student Services.
Students will need to find a Research Advisor who agrees to advise their project. This may mean that students both find one faculty member specializing in that interdisciplinary field or students might have different faculty members advising them who agree to work together in their mentorships.
