Senior Seminar or Study Abroad Capstone
(3
Semester Hours)
Senior Seminar
Senior seminars are offered
in a number of subjects and disciplines each semester, each one organized
around a particular subject/issue important to contemporary society. Each seminar is listed by title and
instructor in the schedule of courses each semester. The student must successfully complete a
seminar outside of his or her major. (Students may take a senior seminar once
they have completed 75 semester hours. However, so that those nearing
graduation will have first access to seats, only students who have earned or
will have earned 90 hours may register without the assistance of the offering
department.)
The Senior Seminar at
Eastern Illinois University is designed to be a cross-disciplinary culminating
experience that will provide students with an opportunity to apply concepts and
use skills developed in both their general education and major courses. Information about topics of major
importance, e.g. the Holocaust, Social Movements, Women in Science, Technology,
Controversies in Education, Sociobiology, etc. will be read, analyzed,
discussed, and written about in a three semester-hour seminar led by a faculty
member of a discipline different from those of the students. To allow ample time for writing and
discussion, senior seminars will be limited to a maximum of 25 students. As an element of the general education
curriculum, each senior seminar shall focus on some aspect of citizenship.
