The Art & Design Program capstone exhibit gives seniors the opportunity to prepare a body of work in one of five concentrations: digital media, graphic design, integrated arts, painting and sculpture and socially engaged art. In addition to their concentration, students take classes across disciplines in order to develop a full portfolio of work designed to provide a broad interdisciplinary lens that can be applied to a variety of careers.
