an independent project and to prepare a formal thesis that
is written and defended in the senior year. The requirements
for this program include minimum grade point average of 3.2
or above after the completion of six semesters and approval
from their research advisor. |

| Mellon College
of Science Research Honors are awarded at commencement to
students that have successfully completed a departmental honors
program or have earned a cumulative grade point average of
3.2 or greater and carried out significant, successful research.
This will be indicated by nomination by the student's research
advisor or academic advisor (with endorsement by the research
advisor), plus completion of one of the following:
|
- Authoring or co-authoring an article in a refereed journal
that is in print or that has been submitted for publication.
|
- Presenting work at an organized and public research symposium
or national/regional meeting, such as the Sigma Xi poster
competition at Carnegie Mellon's annual research symposium.
(Presentations at group research meetings or undergraduate
departmental seminars will not satisfy this requirement.)

| Final
approval of nominations for MCS research honors will come from
the Dean of MCS and the Associate Dean for Undergraduate Affairs.
