Workshops & Capstone

Workshops

The design arts minor involves exploring both the theory and practice of design with an emphasis on the design process. Students gain exposure to design while coursework promotes creative self-expression.

Workshops will be offered by faculty in the fashion and design programs and will be taught on or off campus. These artisanal classes will vary by topics and skills taught. Courses will be taught at the 200-400 levels.

Capstone Course

Self-initiated majors complete a capstone course comprising a written statement and a senior project usually culminating in a public exhibition/show.

Note: December graduates must have completed DSN 494: Senior Project during the previous spring semester.
