Senior Capstone Projects 2025

2025 CADA Senior Capstone Projects

Seniors in Merrimack College’s Creative Arts, Design & Architecture programs share this year’s Capstone Projects. This is our sixth year sharing these projects on our website. See last year’s projects.

What Is a Senior Capstone Project?

Senior Capstone Projects take place in the senior year of study. They are designed to explore a passion with intensity, take the shape of a large experiential project, or complete a research topic written thesis. Projects are designed to challenge your comfort zone. They are publicly celebrated through performance, exhibition, publication, and oral presentation.
