This last course of the sequence provides learning and practice in the communication of research findings. The course includes discussion on institutional policies and procedures that may impact on research and publication. The capstone of the track is the public presentation of research on an issue of public health policy. Such performance might be acting, writing, directing, theatrical production, music composition, or music arrangement. As with the other tracks of the University Honors Program, the Performing Arts Track is not a major, but a distinctive set of courses that adds breadth to reinforce a student's chosen major.
Students make application.
A GPA of 3.0 and an interview are required. Students with majors in art, English, and music may proceed directly to individual advisement and the five course set. Students of other majors need to complete a 21 - credit concentration in theatre prior to individual advisement and the five course set. As described above, the core courses are five courses by advisement. This track addresses issues that have arisen over the past three decades by the rapid application of scientific knowledge to practical problems in the life sciences and the environment.
