In the senior year, students will be required to undertake
a senior project combining at least two fields of study. The proposal must
meet with the approval of the Humanities Council and must be supervised
by at least two Plymouth State College professors (at least one must be
a member of the Humanities Council). The work will be supervised on a weekly
basis by the professors concerned. The students' final project must be
presented to the entire Humanities Council and the final grade will be
issued by the supervising professors in consultation with the Council.
