Final essay
Keep in mind that this is a graduate level project. Given the interdisciplinary approach of the program, we expect that your work will exhibit a breadth of knowledge and a significant level of research. It is possible for the final essay to build on work done in previous courses.
However, in the final essay, the student must produce a significant amount of new work. All students are required to include an Introduction or Artist’s Statement as well as a Bibliography. There is no page requirement for the introduction. At a minimum, it should present a definition of the project, the motivation for doing it, and its overall purpose or goal. The Bibliography should include works that the student consulted either for direct use or for inspiration (which is particularly relevant to creative projects). The minimum requirement for the final Essay is 35-50 pages of your own writing or the equivalent if it takes another form.
