The deadline for such petitions is the last day of classes in the second semester of the junior year. A Senior Thesis may be pursued in the first or second semester of the senior year, and must be completed by the last day of classes of the first semester and by the end of the next-to-last week of classes of the second semester.

Majors normally participate in the Study Abroad Program and reside in Oldenborg Center for one year. Up to three courses towards the major may be accrued abroad.
