Capstone I

Catalog description

Capstone 1 is the first of three sequential courses that position the student to meet the capstone graduation requirement. The capstone is the culminating project of the DSW and entails the production of a substantial report on original research or an independent investigation of a topic of significance to the field of study. The capstone project provides the student with the opportunity to develop and demonstrate their ability to clearly define a problem of significance to the social work profession, to articulate a theoretical framework that relates to their topic, to write a literature relevant to the problem, describe prior attempts to resolve the issue, and generate original ideas to address the issue. Pre-requisites of SWK 830, 835, and 840 are required.
