This advanced program supports senior thesis and capstone project work. Mandatory program meetings and readings provide a common scaffolding as students work on their independent research, writing, and other projects in the humanities, performing arts, and related fields. Students may incorporate independent language study or other specific skill acquisition into their senior project, based on their individual needs. Credit equivalencies will be based on each student's individual project and the knowledge they acquire; possible focus for projects includes interdisciplinary work in history, literature, philosophy, gender studies, cultural studies, the performing arts, ethnography, religious studies, languages and related fields.
