Overview

Key facts

This program from Stanford University enables qualified undergraduates at Stanford to extend the learning in their major field of study by pursuing education courses and undertaking a supervised research thesis.

Education (Honors) students pursue a wide range of thesis projects with intellectual tools from a variety of academic disciplines in the social sciences and humanities. They often engage directly with communities of practice, working alongside educators and reformers on and off campus.

Students typically lay the groundwork for their honors theses through coursework at the GSE in their first three years at Stanford. They apply for the honors program during their junior year and begin preparing for their thesis year the following summer, often through the Bing Honors College.

Upon successful completion of honors program requirements, student theses will be posted in the GSE’s collection in the Stanford Digital Repository, a service supporting long-term management of scholarly information resources at Stanford. Faculty, students, and researchers use the SDR to promote and protect the products of their work. Education honors theses uploaded to the SDR are indexed in SearchWorks, assigned a permanent URL, and accessible based on author preferences.
