The Capstone Experience

Delve Deeply Into a Topic You Care About

• Acquire close, focused knowledge of a topic
• Further develop and refine research, writing, and analytical skills
• Enhance your ability to formulate and research a question or set of questions, and produce a coherent and substantial treatment of the chosen topic
