- Class Description:
- Senior seminar is a yearlong, process-driven project required for graduation by the College of Liberal Arts. Seniors will execute and thoroughly document a sustained project of their own design over the course of a year. Projects may take of the form of, but are not limited to: a research paper, an internship with an arts organization, creation of an original work: play, dance, lighting, set design, sound score, etc., grant writing, portfolio development and presentation, educational curriculum development, film and/or software projects. A faculty adviser will serve as a resource in the planning stages, advise on the progress of the project, and evaluate its effectiveness and quality (including the quality of reflections on risky, noble failures). Ideally this will serve as the "capstone" college experience bringing together several years of coursework and productions in theater arts and dance, and preparing you for life and work after departing the University of Minnesota.
