The Honors Program of the Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of New Mexico

The Departmental Honors Program provides additional depth to the student's knowledge in a special area of contemporary physics, and grounds this knowledge in their understanding of the world around them.

Students Awarded Departmental Honors since the introduction of the Honors Thesis, in 2000/2001
