Senior Project

In their senior year, math students complete a culminating project or thesis in MATH 401.

Students select a topic and work with a faculty mentor over the course of a full semester. Students present their results at the Mathematics Department Senior Showcase, a poster session held at the end of the semester.

Before registering for MATH 401, students should reach out to potential faculty mentors; several are available every semester. To explore faculty research areas and interests, visit the math faculty directory, linked at the bottom of this page.

To learn more about logistics of MATH 401 and choosing a faculty mentor, talk to the math department advising coordinator.
