Capstone Project I

Catalog description

This is the first of two (2) courses required to implement the doctoral capstone project. Students work closely with faculty mentors. Students and mentors decide together on the specific activities and assignments to be completed each semester, as well as timelines and due dates. Students meet weekly with faculty mentors to review and coordinate the completion of the student’s tasks in an efficient and effective manner. In Capstone Project I students finalize formal agreements and collaboration plans with community partners. They collaborate with the community partners to implement the proposed activities. They search for suitable journals and begin writing a manuscript describing the capstone project for potential publication.
