About Honors Undergraduate Theses

The Honors Undergraduate Thesis (HUT) program provides students from all disciplines the opportunity to engage in original and independent research as principal investigators. Over the course of two to four semesters, students work closely with a faculty committee to research, write, defend and publish an Honors thesis that serves as the capstone product of their undergraduate career. This thesis is published through the university library and is available to researchers worldwide through electronic databases.

  • Honors in the Major: Honors in the Major is the oldest and most prestigious undergraduate research program at UCF. Students complete original research or creative work in their major.
  • Honors in Research or Honors in Creative Inquiry: The Interdisciplinary Honors Thesis allows students in all majors to complete original research or creative work in their minor or in discipline other than their major.
