Capstone Project
Based on an integrated plan for 50 hours of community service that includes both challenging scholarship and relevancy for a community organization, the Capstone Project both fosters interest in community service and provides a structured hands-on laboratory to extend learning into real-world practice.
Capstone Projects are highly individualized and students are encouraged to develop Capstone Projects linked directly to their real-life professional goals and community needs.
