| The Honors Committee sponsors one or more field trips each year.

| Senior
Honors Thesis
|
 |
The Ohio State University encourages all its honors students to undertake research projects. Successful completion of a Senior Honors Thesis project admits a student to candidacy for graduation "with distinction." In the Colleges of the Arts and Sciences, a student who elects to do a Senior Honors Thesis project must first select a problem to research and identify a faculty member who is willing to act as an advisor. Next, the student writes a research proposal and submits it to the Arts and Sciences Honors Committee. If the Committee approves the proposal, the student is eligible to apply for various forms of financial support including Pressy Honors Endowment Student Grants ($350), University Honors Center Summer Research Internships ($2,500), and Arts and Sciences Undergraduate Research Scholarships (up to a full year's tuition).

The Honors Committee sponsors three Honors Book Seminars each year. A committee composed of students, faculty, and staff select a book to be read over the next recess. During the third week of the following quarter, seminar participants meet for about ninety minutes for an informal discussion of the book. This discussion is led by someone who has special knowledge of the material covered by the book. Everyone who is a member of the Ohio State Mansfield community -- student, faculty, or staff -- is invited to participate. Books discussed in past seminars include Flatland by Edwin Abbot, Summer for the Gods by Mansfield native Edwards Larson, and Life on the Color Line by Ohio State University Law School Dean Gregory Williams.
