What’s the deal with the Jr. Qual?
The Qual is an open-book, -notes, -internet, -library exam given three times each year (at the beginnings of each term and just after Spring Break). Successful completion of the exam makes you eligible to enroll for the thesis. Most people doing Fall/Spring theses take the Spring qual. Look for the sign-up sheet on the board in the hall outside Susan Buttrick’s office. Click here for more information from the library’s guide to the Biology Jr. Qual.
