The choice of adviser is based on student interest and will be made in consultation with the program Director. Students satisfy the upper level writing requirement by writing the senior thesis.

The remaining course may be selected from either the elective courses or the core courses. The independent study or project must be decided before the end of the sixth semester. Students have a regular faculty adviser assigned to them to plan and supervise the independent study or project.
