Honors Program

Emory Honors Programs are linked to students' majors. REALC's East Asian and Russian majors all support Honors Programs. To meet the requirements for Honors, students must propose, plan, research, and draft a long research paper supervised by their Honors Advisor; they then present and answer questions about ("defend") their paper before their Advisor and Committee. See the full description here for Emory College's Honors Program rules (update link: https://oue.college.emory.edu/programs/other/honors-program.html).
 
Majors interested in Honors need to do the following, preferably before the end of spring semester junior year:
  • decide on a topic, or at least a general area of interest
  • obtain support from REALC faculty member with expertise in the area of interest to serve as Honors Advisor, and complete the necessary applications
  • if you aren't sure about whom to contact, reach out to your Major Advisor for help
  • sign up for Honors courses (495A & B)
