Description
The Senior Capstone consists of a major, individual, independent research oriented exercise or project each student undertakes during his/her final
semester. The aim of the Senior Capstone is to give students the opportunity to use the research tools and analytical skills they have acquired in their
undergraduate courses, and to work creatively with the theories and concepts relevant to their field of study. The emphasis in the Senior Capstone is on student initiative. It is up to each student to come up with a research project. Students are encouraged to choose projects of particular interest to themselves. Students enrolled in the Senior Capstone meet in seminar fashion in order to discuss methodology, data collection and analysis, sources, and other issues relevant to their projects, and to exchange ideas with invited speakers.
