CAPSTONE IN INTERNATIONAL STUDIES (ELR) (WIC)

Catalog description

In this course, students integrate and build on what they have learned throughout the major. The standard assignment is a research paper that (1) connects the electives the student has taken with the core courses in the major and (2) describes a future trajectory of learning and working (answering such questions as: What are you planning to do after graduation? What is the next step in your career? Where and how are you going to make a difference? How do you build on what you have done here in order to get there?). In consultation with the instructor, students may develop a different assignment, such as a paper on a different topic, a graduate school application essay and writing sample, a career application portfolio or part of an honors thesis.
