Senior Project


The senior project in studio art is a graduation requirement, but it can be completed in a number of ways. In all cases the senior project must be presented to a public audience. This is ordinarily accomplished by presenting either a solo exhibition or a two-person exhibition of senior project artwork. The following list identifies the ways in which the senior project requirement can be completed:

  • Enroll for senior project credits under the supervision of a studio art faculty member; ART 389 - Senior Project in Studio Art , (0-4 credits);
  • By agreement with the studio art faculty members, you may present a major project you have recently completed at the annual Colloquy (takes place in December) in your senior year;
  • By agreement with the studio art faculty members, you may create a coherent body of work for exhibition in ART 388 - Advanced Art Seminar  or the Special Projects course in your concentration.
