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 acceptable performance in the practical application of skills taught in the basic courses: 1) critical reading, 2) critical thinking, 3) critical writing, 4) information literacy, 5) quantitative analysis, and 6) public speaking. Honors Junior Seminar students engage in projects ranging from intensive research and essay-writing, to digital storytelling, to service learning. Students document, self-assess, and showcase their learning achievement in an ePortfolio. Students can register for the course after completing 60-90 credits. This course replaces general education requirement JRSM 301.
