Courses
Any course that includes a substantial hands-on component could be a logical candidate for fulfilling this Odyssey category. Specific examples include music activity, dance activity, acting, directing, music composition, creative writing, and studio art classes.

Individualized Academic Experiences
Classes that are more strictly academic in nature, such as courses in music, theatre, or art history, are not sufficient, in and of themselves, to fulfill the requirement. However, a professor may wish to add to such a course a substantial elective experiential project (module) which would qualify for Odyssey credit. Other individualized experiences might include internships (for credit or noncredit), independent studies, and senior capstone projects.
Co-Curricular Activities
This category includes any activities not directly tied to the curriculum. In many cases, they will be student-initiated and student-directed. Examples include individual projects as well as student-organized musical, theatrical, or public-speaking groups whose activities culminate in an approved public presentation.
Students who are involved in major theatrical productions are encouraged to speak to the chair of the Department of Theatre and Dance about the possibility of earning Odyssey credit.
