UConn DMD Senior Capstone Experience
The UConn Digital Media & Design senior exhibitions are the culmination of a year-long senior project. For the BFA senior capstone year, students take six credits of BFA senior project, a professional practices course, and a BFA Senior Exhibition course, which results in a portfolio-ready professional artwork. Students work closely with the BFA Senior Project Advisor, a faculty member they select to mentor them through the process, from pre-production and concept development to final display.
