Passionate pursuits

A Passionate Pursuit is an intellectual or scholarly activity in which students propose a semester-long project, solicit faculty participation, and establish objectives.  Students wishing to enroll in a Passionate Pursuit fill out a proposal form that indicates a title and description of the project, faculty sponsor, learning goals, and list of deliverables (often a presentation or performance) that constitute satisfactory completion of the project.

Successfully completed Passionate Pursuit projects earn non-degree credit, and the title of the project appears on the student’s transcript.
