CDIS Honors
The Program in Communication Disorders
Why CDIS Honors?
CDIS undergraduates have the opportunity to participate in the COEHP Honors Program. Students in the honors program can take advantage of priority enrollment each semester, work with other honors students in special sections of classes, and be actively involved in typically funded undergraduate research. They graduate with the distinction of Summa Cum Laude, Magna Cum Laude, or Cum Laude engraved on their diploma and a medallion presented by the dean of the college.
What’s involved in CDIS Honors?
Honors students complete six (6) hours of honors course work selected from a wide range of options in university core and a minimum of six (6) additional hours in the CDIS major. The CDIS courses include CDIS 3224-Language Development in Children, which is taken in the fall term of the junior year; HNED 3001H, a research tutorial taken in the spring term of the junior year; and HNED 4003H, which is the honors thesis project taken in the senior year. Two additional seminars, CDIS 3923H and CDIS 399VH, are available to CDIS honors students.
Joining CDIS Honors
All CDIS undergraduates who want to participate in honors must submit an application to the COEHP Honors Program, even if they have been enrolled in honors through another college at the University of Arkansas. Students who meet the requirements can be admitted to honors upon entry to the university or at any time after their first academic year of studies, even before they are officially accepted into the CDIS major. The application, which can be found on the college Web page, is filled out by the student and submitted to the COEHP Honors Council through the Boyer Center for Student Advising. Once this is submitted, it is typically acted upon within 60 days, at which time the student is notified about their admission status. Every effort is made to link CDIS honors students with a faculty mentor as early as possible in their undergraduate careers.
CDIS Honors is about connection: person to person, experience and scholarship to research.
