6 credits Students work on self-defined, typically communication-oriented, projects over the course of one and in rare cases two semesters. They work with the instructor to clarify objectives, develop or assemble content, and design and produce a body of work that demonstrates facility with appropriate tools and techniques, high craft values, awareness of relevant contexts, and evidence of aesthetic judgment. Students meet as a group to discuss their work with peers, the course instructor and professional guests. The studio emphasis of the course is underpinned by one-on-one and group crits and discussion; panel review sessions involving other design instructors and guest critics; and a public exhibition of completed work. It may be complemented by assigned readings, seminar presentations and discussions, and writing exercises. The discussion component emphasizes contemporary design and communication practice in the print and digital realms, and in various professional and public contexts. Course may be repeated once for credit. Graphic Design concentrators will ordinarily have completed most if not all of their other studio requirements prior to taking Design Seminar. They have the option of taking two studio courses in lieu of a second semester of Seminar. Concentrators in Book Arts and other areas for which Design Seminar is a capstone option are expected to declare their intention to enter Design Seminar at the time they declare their concentration. Book Arts concentrators will ordinarily have completed most if not all of their other studio requirements prior to taking Design Seminar. Design Seminar may be taken as a studio elective by any student who applies and is accepted on the basis of her or his proposal, and evidence of a mature body of work. Prerequisites: See Senior Program Entrance Criteria Fulfills: Senior Program Requirement (Graphic Design Students); Graphic Design Elective (Graphic Design Students)

3 credits In this course students study a selection of ideas and books that have shaped world cultures. The readings include the Judeo-Greco roots of the West, but also the roots of other cultures and world views. These readings give students a perspective different from contemporary society, of another time or culture, and hence deepen their understanding of their own values and assumptions. This perspective also enriches the students' sense of common human questions and emotions expressed in different ways in different times. This course covers the time period to the Renaissance.
