This guide was created to support undergraduates doing research through the Honors College program.

What is a Research Prospectus?

A Research Prospectus is a formal research proposal. You should design the Research Prospectus to convince readers you can complete the research. It should contain:

  • A title

  • A research statement or question

  • An overview of scholarly work already done around your topic; the background and context of your proposed research 

  • A summary of your research methods or your approach to completing the research

The Honors College has specific guidelines for laying out your Research Prospectus. Please see link to the guidelines below.
