The Junior Seminar is designed as a general education capstone course to be taken by all Mercy College students as a requirement for graduation. Its purpose is to ensure that students have achieved an acceptable performance in the practical application of the skills taught in the basic courses. Each section of this course will focus on an individual topic and students will bring the diversity of their interests and/or their area of concentration to the examination of the topic. The course will be conducted in an intensive seminar format; students will research various aspects of the selected topic and give multiple presentations in written and oral form. Students will register for the course after completing 60 credits and before attaining 91 credits. For students with a prior bachelor’s degree, a liberal arts elective may be substituted for Junior Seminar 301.
