SLC Courses

By the end of the senior year, all students complete a learning community (LC) with a reflective tutorial (RFT) in their major. The Senior LC includes a summative major course and an RFT that includes a 100-hour experiential component, a substantial and sophisticated written project, and a presentation. Reflective practice is the central goal within the chosen field.
