Non-Classroom Learning

Students in the Applied Arts and Media major must earn 6 upper-division credits (typically 2 activities) of non-classroom learning related to their major. Non-classroom learning includes a diverse array of options, from internships to prior learning . Students are strongly encouraged to select internship placements relevant to their interests and career goals from Antioch’s Internship Office, or to seek out a unique internship placement with the support and approval of Antioch’s Internship Office. Similarly, students may consult with their faculty advisor about major-related prior learning projects, which not only deepen understanding around students’ lived experiences, but can also save on tuition costs.

Capstone

Students must enroll in one of the following 3-credit capstone activitiesy, typically in or near the student’s final quarter. The Capstone should be directly connected to the student’s major:

• Capstone Community Service Learning: This is a one-term learning experience that is externally facing and engages students in a service project that benefits the community.
• Senior Synthesis Seminar & Capstone: This capstone begins with a seminar during which students reflect on their undergraduate learning experience and build a portfolio that reflects their achievement of the program learning outcomes. During that seminar, students also propose an original project, their capstone. The capstone project is registered separately and most likely follows the seminar term, although they could be coincident for a student already engaged in a relevant project.
• Capstone Internship: This capstone involves students working in community through an internship or similar field experience that concludes with an reflective component that synthesizes their learning and connects the field experience to the overall undergraduate learning outcomes.
