What is a Bac ?How about these exam itself? Its only attended a hand full of baccs in my
day, and the majority of those baccs were of my friends. Let’s break down the baccalaureate itself (this is most applicable to social science and humanities AOCs):
- You show up. So do any friends you have invited, curious onlookers, and your bacc committee.
- At the appointed time, your thesis sponsor introduces you and your topic in brief to everyone in attendance.
- You are delegated approximately 10-20 minutes to present your thesis topic, research and conclusions.
- The floor is opened to questions. Your bacc committee will critique and challenge your analysis (+/- 20 minutes).
- After questions have been asked, any onlookers are asked to leave the room. Your bacc committee questions you about your future plans, what you would have done differently with your thesis (if anything), what you think about your AOC department, etc. (+/- 10 minutes).
- You are asked to leave the room as your bacc committee discusses your thesis.
- You and any onlookers and supporters are welcomed back into the bacc room. You are told that you have passed and given additional revisions by your bacc committee that you must implement prior to the submission of your library copy. You are congratulated!
The entire baccalaureate examination typically does not last longer than an hour or an hour and a half. Don’t be nervous! At the time of your bacc, YOU are the expert on your topic. Remember that you professors would not let you bacc if they didn’t think you definitely WOULD pass
