Oral Presentation

Written Component

Portfolio

The graduation project starts in the sophomore year and ends in the first semester of the senior year. Research and career connections are key aspects to the project. Graduation project meetings are scheduled monthly, usually on the 3rd Thursday of the month.

Deadlines

Sophomores must have an approved proposal by day 135 of the Sophomore year.
Juniors must have their projects completed and submit a rough draft by day 160 of the Junior year.

Seniors give their presentations in late September.
