Students complete both MATH 4990 Senior Project (1 hour) and MATH 4950 Special Topics (3 hours) in the same semester. Students must consult with the faculty advisor and MATH 4950 instructor prior to registration. Students completing a culminating major experience through another outlet, such as research experience for undergraduates or internship, may petition the department to substitute this experience for the capstone requirement. Students who petition must demonstrate that they have met the expected student outcomes for MATH 4990.
