Senior Capstone Projects

To complete requirements for the USC Thornton School of Music Bachelor of Science in Music Industry, each student must spend their senior year creating a final project that encapsulates what they have learned during their time as undergraduates. Since we at the JMI strive to elevate the work being done by Thornton students, we offer our website as a platform to feature some of these projects and draw attention to further scholarship happening at our University.
