Projects/Capstone

Questions

  • Projects are hands on learning experiences. These projects can be anything from helping a museum hang pictures to uncovering dinosaur bones. This also includes capstone courses, which is a culminating educational experience for senior students that integrates classroom activity with supervised practical experience in instructional, community, or more formal research settings. Some majors require projects and capstones for graduation.
  • Projects and capstone prepare students for their future careers, giving them relevant, personalized experiences in their discipline. Participation provides students with their own project which they can use to market themselves in applications for jobs or graduate school.

    Capstone courses and requirements vary between college and departments. Visit your department website to learn more about what capstone courses are offered for your major.
  • Students who are interested in a certain field, a major advisor should also be able to talk to students generally about how projects are managed in their department and/or specifically any they might be aware of. Students could also talk to faculty members (identified through the course list) who may be doing projects in their courses, or as part of their faculty responsibilities outside of specific courses.

  • To complete a project students will need to register for the project class. Upon completion of that class they will receive credit.
