MA Program Synthesis

The MSP Master’s program has a long-standing tradition called ‘synthesis’, which challenges students to distill their learning of a phenomena into the purest essence possible.  Most courses have a class-synthesis at the end, and at the end of the program, students have 3-5 minutes to synthesize their entire MA program.  This year, as in the many years prior, the students brought rich, meaningful, powerful and creative expressions to the magical morning we spent together laughing and crying.  Here are some highlights:
