Fourth Year Courses

Integrated Seminar (SASAH 4410E)

Each year, SASAH’s 4th Year Capstone Seminar centers on a specific theme or topic of contemporary significance. Building on students' Experiential Learning and Internship engagements throughout SASAH, the Seminar introduces students to a leading professional from a particular field that complements aspects of their expansive education within the first three years of the program. The visiting lecturer is invited to teach with the support of the SASAH Director and to access resources that enable the development of an ambitious and innovative course offering resulting in a singular opportunity for 4th year students each given year. In an exciting role involved with furthering educational innovation, the visiting lecturer typically invites guest speakers and hosts events involving the students and the wider community, in order to extend the reach and dynamism of the course and the SASAH Program. The curriculum for the course is determined by the visiting lecturer in dialogue with SASAH faculty and in recognition that students will engage with the seminar’s themes alongside some of their own research interests and community investments developed throughout their programs. Among the variety of assignments presented by the visiting lecturer, students may be challenged to produce an ambitious campaign or other public presentation; design and execute an Independent Research Project; or design and present an exhibition or video/media program.
