Senior Thesis

At Claremont McKenna College, Senior Thesis is a general education requirement, to be completed within a student’s major. It is intended to be a serious exercise in the organization and presentation of written material and act as a capstone of the student's studies. Students select their own topics, in consultation with their faculty reader. Students pursuing honors within their major(s) should consult their department chair(s) for guidelines pertinent to the senior thesis requirement. Students are responsible for determining their departmental requirements.

A mandatory meeting will be held the first Thursday of each new semester at 11AM during which the requirements and standards for the senior thesis will be explained. This is the only such meeting: therefore all questions should be raised at that time. It is each student's responsibility to attend this meeting and to obtain the materials distributed at the meeting.
