Put your curiosity to work.
Through career development, internships, civic engagement, and undergraduate research, you’ll graduate with more than knowledge; you’ll graduate with experience

Study Abroad or Away
Become a local, somewhere new.

Independent Research
End with something original.
Working closely with a faculty advisor, you’ll design a capstone project—typically a thesis, creative work, or performance-around the questions and ideas that matter most to you.
