LS 799 - Capstone Project in Liberal Studies

(3.00 cr.)

Prerequisite: Completion of 10 courses (30 credit hours) toward the Master of Arts (M.A.) in Liberal Studies. This independent project builds on the work of one or more graduate courses in liberal studies, developing the concept, method, or approach of that course in greater depth and intellectual subtlety. The course may develop methodology from any of the three course categories (historical, thematic, or creative), but it may not in itself fulfill the curricular requirement to take at least one course from each group. The course aim is the production of a publishable paper or an art product worthy of exhibition. A public presentation to an audience of current and former liberal studies students and faculty is required. Those interested in enrolling should discuss their plans with the director at least a semester in advance. Written or electronic permission of the instructor and the director.
