Capstone

The Capstone Experience features two semesters of individual study primarily designed by the student in consultation with the Program Director. It constitutes a significant project that reflects the preceding coursework may include a thesis (50 pages minimum), internship with outside evaluation, or another initiative (e.g. leading a grassroots environmental campaign or designating a historic landmark). Conducted over two semesters to allow sufficient time for design, research, revision, and self-evaluation, the project includes an oral defense before program faculty.
