CV Honors Capstone Project
The CV Honors capstone project is required for completion of CV Honors. Students can select a
topic of interest with approval from CV faculty. Students are encouraged to explore academic
topics of personal interest; the topic does not have to be related to a student’s major or
professional career. This requirement is designed to be flexible in order to maximize its
relevance to each student.

their final poster project.

major honors thesis will be presented in poster form for their CV Honors Capstone.
