- Dance Ed majors are required to do a Senior Capstone project in Choreography. Please submit your Dance Ed - specific proposals via this form.
- All majors planning to do a senior capstone must fill out this senior capstone tracking form (hyper link to form) and submit it to Kate Monson (monson.7@gmail.com, 291 RB) so that you will be added to the appropriate semester and year.
