Senior Capstone Experience

Senior Capstone Experience

Humanities Advisory Board: Nicole Grewling, Clayton Black, and Katherine Charles

The Senior Capstone Experience in Humanities is an opportunity for Humanities majors to bring their interpretive abilities, their writing skills, and their understanding of cultural traditions to bear on a long-term, independent project in the form of a thesis.

In the final semester of a student’s undergraduate career, when the student is completing the thesis,they should register for HMN SCE for academic credit. 

The completed thesis should demonstrate the student’s ability to interpret texts and support the interpretation with secondary critical sources. The student must draw on at least two humanities disciplines for the thesis, which means that at least two professors from those disciplines must approve the thesis project and be willing to serve as advisers to the thesis.
