The college requirement for a Senior Comprehensive Examination is met by mathematics majors through completion of the Senior Comprehensive Project, which is an extended independent study project on a topic new to the student, undertaken under the guidance of a faculty advisor. The project culminates in a formal written paper and a formal public oral presentation of the results of the study followed by questioning by a faculty committee including the faculty advisor and the seminar instructor. This paper and presentation comprise the Senior Comprehensive Examination. The paper also serves as the final submission for the Advanced Writing portfolio.
