Senior Comprehensive Exams

All students majoring in the department must pass a Senior Assessment during their senior year in order to graduate. The purpose of this assessment is: (1) to serve as an integrating experience that allows students to pull together the various aspects of the curriculum, (2) to assess specific outcomes in the department, and (3) to affirm the student’s progress and identify areas of further learning. The assessment consists of three components: (1) a group retreat with an oral exam, (2) an integrative essay, and (3) an objective exam. Students who fail any component of the assessment must do remedial work.

Further details regarding the Senior Assessment are available in the department office.
