The Senior Experience is a unique opportunity for Carroll students entering their fourth year of college to reflect on where they have been and where they are going. The format of the Experience takes advantage of the spectacular location of the College in Western Montana: Students take a bus to a retreat site off campus on Thursday of Orientation week, where they spend two nights with other students and faculty. During the Experience, students engage with various faculty members in multi-disciplinary activities, all centering around the idea of this place: Carroll College, Helena, Montana, the Western United States. For example, students might create art that reflects their journeys to and in this place and, then, later in the day, they might take a walk to learn about local plants and then hear poetry about the natural world. The exact activities and involved faculty change each year. With such a multi-disciplinary approach, the Senior Experience acts as a capstone for the students' Core courses, central to each Carroll student's education.
Senior standing required; offered at the discretion of the department.
