NEW COLLEGE OF FLORIDA
CURRICULUM HIGHLIGHTS CONTRACTS Instead of choosing classes that conform to a core curriculum, you’ll work with your faculty advisor and develop a contract that outlines your personal academic goals each semester. It is a comprehensive overview of the many ways you can put your passion into practice, including research projects, internships, and study abroad.
JANUARY TERM In January, you will spend the month working with a professor on a research project, lab experiment, or creative exercise. You may also use the time to study abroad, participate in an off-campus internship, or put together your own art exhibit or performance.
SENIOR CAPSTONE PROJECT The culmination of your New College education is the senior capstone project. Your project can be a research paper, findings from a scientific study, a body of artwork, a theatrical production, or your own creative product. You will present your capstone project to a faculty committee prior to graduation.
