Types of possible Honors in the Discipline projects
Honors in the Discipline projects are expected to make an original contribution to their field of inquiry or scholarship. The form of the project is determined by the student in consultation with the supervising faculty mentor and approved by the Khoury Undergraduate Committee, which will ensure that the project has appropriate scope and distinction.
Possible projects include:
- An original research project
- A significant software development project
- A significant data project
- A computing project with a significant social impact
Most projects that would offer a satisfactorily significant impact and be worthy of an honors distinction would last two semesters. Students whose projects are approved will enroll in two semesters of the sequence CS, CY, or DS 4970/4971 Junior/Senior Honors Seminar 1/2. Each semester of the project would count as a 4-credit course. Students should speak with their academic advisor to see how this course may fit into their academic plan.

Application process
The Khoury Honors in the Discipline Project Proposal and Approval form (PDF) must be submitted by the deadline shown below. Proposals must be approved by the Khoury Undergraduate Committee before work can begin.
Identifying a mentor
Interested students should identify a faculty mentor well before the application deadline. Your mentor should be a full-time faculty member, based in Khoury or one of the colleges of your combined major. To identify faculty members who may have interest in the project you’d like to propose, consult the faculty profiles that are listed on the Khoury webpage. Contact faculty who have interests that are compatible with yours and ask if they would be willing to meet with you to discuss a project idea.
Be sure to come to that meeting well-versed in that faculty member’s scholarship, for example, by having read some of their articles. Remember that faculty have many responsibilities and will be most excited about devoting their time to students who are conscientious, energized, and creative. Faculty also welcome students’ questions and creative ideas, which may serve as a foundation for an excellent Honors in the Discipline project.
Proposal development
With faculty guidance, students should prepare a proposal that contains a narrative description of the proposed project that indicates the form that the finished product will take, timeline, and expected outcomes. More specifically, the narrative should include:
- The thesis or question that is motivating the work, along with a clear statement of the rationale and goals of the project.
- A discussion of background materials and relevant theoretical or conceptual frameworks (citing primary references).
- The approach and/or methodology of the project.
- Expected outcomes and the projected significance of the contribution.
- A statement about how the findings of the project will be disseminated.
Your proposal should also address the following considerations:
Collaborative projects – In the spirit of promoting collaborative and interdisciplinary scholarship, Northeastern encourages students to work in teams as appropriate. Proposals for collaborative projects must include the following elements in addition to the above information:
- Rationale for why it is appropriate to approach this topic as a collaborative rather than individual project. How will the project, as a collaborative effort, lead to more significant outcomes than if it were conducted as a single individual’s project?
- Statement of prior experience with collaborative projects, if any.
- Statement of the expected individual responsibilities and contributions to the project and how tasks will be divided.
- Please note that each student involved in the project must be eligible for Honors in the Discipline.
Seeking IRB, IACUC, or other institutional approvals:
- Students whose projects include the inclusion of human subjects, animals, or use of materials that require institutional approvals should be sure to include in their proposals a plan of how they will seek relevant approvals. Please refer to the IRB website to determine how to submit a proposal to include human subjects or to request verification that the project is considered to be “exempt.” IACUC is required for work with animal subjects. Please note that the IRB review process can take considerable time, and early submissions are recommended. Additionally, please indicate how you will obtain training or certifications in any techniques you will use in your project, such as human subjects training, laboratory safety training, and radiation safety training.
Seeking cooperative agreements:
- Any plans to request to use data or products from a co-op placement or other external organization should be described, and a letter of support or agreement from that organization should be submitted.
Timeline:
- Please provide a timeline by which the individual stages of your project will be completed, including seeking any necessary institutional approvals or cooperative agreements, mindful of departmental and college deadlines for final project submission and presentations.
Proposal submission instructions
The Project Proposal Approval Form (PDF) should be submitted via email to Ali Ressing, Director – Academic Advising. The application can be accessed here. Please carefully review the instructions presented on this page and ensure that you provide your faculty mentor sufficient time to provide input and approval for you to submit your proposal.
Students seeking to begin their project during the spring semester must submit their proposal by November 1. Students seeking to begin their project during fall must submit their approval by March 15.
The determination of whether a proposal has been approved will be made by members of the Khoury Undergraduate Committee and communicated to students by the first day of the following semester. Projects may not commence until such approval is granted.

Next steps if your proposal is approved
Course Enrollment
Students whose projects have been approved should enroll in the following courses: CS, CY, or CS 4970/4971 Junior/Senior Honors Seminar 1/2, one per semester in which the work will be conducted. Although you are required to enroll in two semesters of this course, the semesters do not need to be sequential, thereby allowing you to begin your project at one point in time, leave campus for co-op or global study, and return later to complete your projects by the stated deadline. Students are able to register for this course via the Individual Instruction Form on the StudentHub.
Expectations for Final Submission of Projects and Evaluation Criteria
Students must submit their final report to the college for review by the Khoury Undergraduate Committee and the student’s faculty mentor. This must include an abstract of the report. Students will also be required to present their project on the reading day of the semester the project is completed.
Dissemination of Results
Students will be required to give a presentation of 30 minutes, minimum, with 15 additional minutes for questions on their project. The presentation will be open to the public. The abstract of the project will be published on the college website. This would not preclude a student from publishing their work elsewhere.
