Honors Capstone Experience

The Honors Capstone curriculum provides upper-division students the opportunity to engage in in-depth study of a topic either within or outside of their major degree program and culminates in an Honors Capstone Project.

Capstone Project Pathways

• 研究: 研究 项目 or senior thesis based on field research, survey research, qualitative research, experimentation, or library or archival research or any other discipline-based research methodology
• 应用: applied or civically-engaged business, non-profit, or curriculum design and delivery 项目
• 创意: creative work in humanities or the arts, including visual arts, performing arts, music, creative writing, photography or other creative works.

All 项目s require a written component with critical, research-based, reflective analysis, and all students present their 项目 在公共论坛上 to educate others 皇冠app安卓下载安装他们的话题.
