During senior year, you’ll be working with your academic adviser to finalize your focus field, complete any outstanding requirements you have for graduation, and “unconc” any classes you need for a secondary or double degree. If you studied abroad last spring, you may still need to take a second junior tutorial. (And if you’re wondering what students do after Social Studies, you can also check out our alumni voices page.)
Of course, as seniors you’ll also write your senior thesis, complete your oral exams, and graduate! Throughout the year, you should make use of the many different kinds of support Social Studies offers for thesis-writers. In particular, we strongly encourage you to sign up for the optional Thesis Writing Seminar, Thesis Writing Fellow hours, and Thesis Presentation Workshops as you’re working on your thesis. In April, you should attend an oral exam workshop to help you prepare for your thesis defense and general exam. If you have questions about how your concentration GPA will be calculated, you can find that information here.
