A minimum of eight credits from courses numbered 407, 410, or 412–499 are required.
Additional Requirements
The 48 credits that satisfy major requirements must be taken for letter grades and passed with C– or better with the exception that one course (as many as 4 credits) may be taken pass/no pass (P/N). Courses such as Thesis ( PS 403 ) and Honors Thesis Prospectus ( PS 411 ) are offered pass/no pass only and may be applied to the 48 credits. Credits earned in PS 409 may not be applied to the major.
No more than a total of 16 credits in Research: [Topic] ( PS 401 ) , Thesis ( PS 403 ) , Internship: [Topic] ( PS 404 ) , Reading and Conference: [Topic] ( PS 405 ) , Workshop: [Topic] ( PS 408 ) , Honors Thesis Prospectus ( PS 411 ) , Career Readiness ( CAS 417 ) , and Overseas Study: Internships ( OINT 488 ) may be applied toward the 48-credit requirement. Overseas Study: Internships ( OINT 488 ) is subject to preapproval by the political science department.
8 of the 16 credits may be from Internship: [Topic] ( PS 404 ) , LERC 406 , and Overseas Study: Internships ( OINT 488 ) and must be earned at the University of Oregon or through UO programs abroad. This work must be done under the direction of a faculty member who, prior to registration, must approve and set up academic criteria to evaluate the work.
UO bachelor's degree requirements also apply.
Honors in Political Science
Political science majors who have reached junior standing and meet GPA minimums are eligible to enter the honors program. The honors program spans the spring term of a student’s junior year to the spring term of senior year. GPA minimums must be maintained to participate—an overall grade point average for UO and transfer credits of at least 3.50, plus a 3.70 GPA or above in the political science major. Students must successfully complete Honors Thesis Prospectus ( PS 411 ) during fall term of the academic year in which the thesis is completed, then complete 4 credits in Thesis ( PS 403 ) in the following winter term. Honors students select a thesis advisor and reader; the advisor supervises and grades the thesis course. The thesis advisor and reader determines if the thesis is approved for honors distinction after eligibility is determined prior to graduation.

Harvard University Theses, Dissertations, and Prize Papers
The Harvard University Archives ’ collection of theses, dissertations, and prize papers document the wide range of academic research undertaken by Harvard students over the course of the University’s history.
Beyond their value as pieces of original research, these collections document the history of American higher education, chronicling both the growth of Harvard as a major research institution as well as the development of numerous academic fields. They are also an important source of biographical information, offering insight into the academic careers of the authors.
Spanning from the ‘theses and quaestiones’ of the 17th and 18th centuries to the current yearly output of student research, they include both the first Harvard Ph.D. dissertation (by William Byerly, Ph.D . 1873) and the dissertation of the first woman to earn a doctorate from Harvard ( Lorna Myrtle Hodgkinson , Ed.D. 1922).
Other highlights include:
- The collection of Mathematical theses, 1782-1839
- The 1895 Ph.D. dissertation of W.E.B. Du Bois, The suppression of the African slave trade in the United States, 1638-1871
- Ph.D. dissertations of astronomer Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin (Ph.D. 1925) and physicist John Hasbrouck Van Vleck (Ph.D. 1922)
- Undergraduate honors theses of novelist John Updike (A.B. 1954), filmmaker Terrence Malick (A.B. 1966), and U.S. poet laureate Tracy Smith (A.B. 1994)
- Undergraduate prize papers and dissertations of philosophers Ralph Waldo Emerson (A.B. 1821), George Santayana (Ph.D. 1889), and W.V. Quine (Ph.D. 1932)
- Undergraduate honors theses of U.S. President John F. Kennedy (A.B. 1940) and Chief Justice John Roberts (A.B. 1976)
What does a prize-winning thesis look like?
If you're a Harvard undergraduate writing your own thesis, it can be helpful to review recent prize-winning theses. The Harvard University Archives has made available for digital lending all of the Thomas Hoopes Prize winners from the 2019-2021 academic years.

Applications for the 2024-2025 Political Science Research Honors cohort are now closed. The applications for the 2025-2026 Honors Cohort will open in January, 2025. If you have any questions about the Honors Program or the Application Process feel free to reach out to adavido [at] stanford.edu (subject: Research%20Honors%20Program%20Letter%20of%20Recommendation) (Alexandra Davidovich). |
Application Process

International Relations Bachelor Thesis topic
Hello, I’m in the need of a little help regarding my Bachelor Thesis. I wanted something creative and unique as a topic, my initial idea was Politics influenced by conspiracy theories. As I told this to my thesis advisor, he said I should look for something easier and also in his domains which are European Integration, Communication, European project management and EU governance. I couldn’t think of anything ever since, and I also gave up on writing about something unique as I’m running out of time. Could you please help me find a simple topic with lots of sources?
