Capstone Project

Catalog description

This capstone project is a culminating experience consisting of a paper with an oral presentation that begins in year 2. The thought behind the capstone project is to have a student utilize all they have learned through their degree and apply it in one, organized method to show their level of compression and application. This tends to be in the form of original research. Students commit to this research under the supervision of their faculty advisor. Additionally, students are responsible for compiling a committee that includes advisor, additional faculty member of the department, and external member to review and evaluate their project.
