Senior Project

The Senior Project Seminar is a creative effort of some depth and is required for all majors. The student’s area of concentration will bring the student’s skills and understanding to bear in an aesthetic statement reflecting at least the equivalent of a full course of independent work. All Art Majors are required to register for the Senior Project Seminar in the fall and spring of their senior year. Each semester will be valued at 1.5 credits equaling a full 3-credit course. Students will meet with the art faculty approximately eight times per semester for the purpose of field trips, defining the roles of the professional artist, and clarifying the direction and process of their senior art projects. Seniors have a dedicated studio in the Student Center in which to complete their artwork. Culmination of this project is an exhibit at Manhattanville University.
