The SUNY Cortland Honors Program provides undergraduate students who have demonstrated academic excellence with the opportunity for continued intellectual challenge in a rigorous, coherent and integrative program. The program provides a mechanism for students to distinguish themselves and also enhances the general learning environment for all students and faculty, the College and the community.
The program culminates in the completion of a Senior Honors Thesis, or Senior Honors Project. Beginning in December 2023, such theses are available in the collection below.
