Students wishing to earn a Scandinavian major with honors must fulfill the following requirements, in addition to the general requirements for the major:

1. Scand St 401
   
2. The 18 credits in residence in courses 400 or higher required of majors should include:
   
   a. At least 8 honors credits;
   
   b. At least one semester of the Survey of Scandinavian Literature series (633, 634, 635, 636)
   
3. At least 6 credits of Senior Honors Thesis (681, 682).

Students must earn a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.3 in courses taken in the major. Students should consult with the department honors adviser for specific course recommendations pertinent to the student's field of interest (medieval studies, linguistics, modern literature, area studies).

Students should be aware that Honors in the Major is a new program and is still under development, and so should not assume that the requirements specified in this catalog are complete or fully described. Students should check with the department honors adviser at least once a year to make sure that requirements have not been modified, as well as to seek guidance about planning the best possible Honors in the Major curriculum that reflects their special interests.
