Before graduating, students must pass a portfolio review judged by two faculty members in the capstone course.
Prospective applicants should consult the catalog entry for the full course list, critical-tracking milestones and any minors or certificates that pair well with the major, and speak with an advisor early to plan the sequence of courses.
