Senior Projects

“Experiential learning is a process through which students develop knowledge, skills, and values from direct experiences outside a traditional academic setting. It encompasses internships, service learning, undergraduate research, independent projects, and other creative and professional work experiences.”

A senior project is an opportunity for students to explore and experience topics of their choice that extend beyond the classroom. They allow students to broaden their skills and knowledge in a subject area that they have a great interest in and to learn independently and experientially.  

Students will align with a mentor with expertise or experience in the particular field. Mentors and students will arrange their working schedules. Some students see their mentors daily while others check in a couple of times a week. Students will have required meetings/check-ins with the Senior Project Coordinator throughout the term. 

The Senior Project requires a final presentation and a reflective paper. Guidance is provided with the brainstorming of topic ideas, the development of your project, keeping you on track, managing your time, and preparation for the final presentation and reflective paper.
