A potential source of useful information about undergraduate honors education can be found in doctoral dissertation abstracts that focus on honors. Debra Holman and James Banning of Colorado State University sought to explore this resource by undertaking a bounded qualitative meta-study of such abstracts using document analysis. Three sub-questions focused their inquiry: (1) What are the general attributes of dissertations on honors education?; (2) What are the thematic subjects and topics associated with the dissertations?; and (3) Have these dissertation findings been published in higher education journals or books? This article provides an account of their research, including information on the meta-study framework they used, their selection of the dissertations for analysis, and their methods and procedures for analyzing the dissertations. Findings, a summary of publication-related trends for dissertations on honors education, and recommendations for future research are provided.
