Senior Projects

MUS 490 Senior Project

The Senior Project is a cornerstone experience required in the BA Liberal Arts, BM Jazz Studies, and BM Composition degree programs.

The range of possible projects is fairly broad. Individual or group projects involving research, performance, analysis, theory, and other possibilities that bring together unique skills and proficiencies developed by the student may be considered.

Because of the unique nature of each project, your Program Director and/or Advisor will communicate the appropriate procedure for evaluation.
