ENACTING THE CORE

The Experiential Component Each incoming student is required to complete an experiential component as a requirement for graduation from the Undergraduate College. Among the experiential components a student can choose are internships, service learning, undergraduate research and study abroad opportunities. These opportunities may be credit bearing and vary in the credits assigned to them or in some cases, not for credit. These experiences are related to the student’s program of study and provide an important linkage between classroom theory and actual practice. Students should work closely with their faculty mentors and professors to identify the experience most suitable to the student’s academic and personal goals.

Senior Capstone 3 cr The Senior Capstone is offered in a student’s major. Most Senior Capstone courses are only offered in the spring semester. Many of these courses have specific prerequisites. Students should meet with their academic mentor to determine when he/she will enroll in this course. Students with double majors may be required to complete two Seniors Capstone courses or projects.
