Candidates for High Honors should consult the Director of Liberal Studies early in the fall semester of the year of intended graduation so that the examination committee can be constituted. Candidates for High Honors in Liberal Studies must pass an oral examination, given by a committee of Liberal Studies faculty, on a topic of their choice. The candidate should prepare a ten or fifteen minute presentation on this topic and then stand for questions. Candidates who perform well on the High Honors exam make a thoughtful and articulate presentation and field questions well. The exam should occupy an hour.
