The Capstone Project is your opportunity to synthesize the Program Learning Outcomes and demonstrate your mastery of your Program of Study.

This Capstone Project will challenge you to integrate ideas presented in all your previous courses. The Capstone Project should also push you beyond the boundaries of your prior work.

You will creatively explore and apply the knowledge and experiences gained from your core courses and electives, websites, and additional readings and research. Blending these experiences and resources will help you to complete a Mini Literature Review and a final Capstone Project Presentation.

In Weeks 1-5, you will have Capstone milestones to complete. Each of these milestones contributes to your Mini Literature Review and Capstone Project Presentation.

Please note that this process is iterative and will require revision and refinement as you move from the beginning to the conclusion of your Capstone Project. To assist you in this process, please refer to the Capstone Project Guide located within the Program of Study button.

This document provides an overview of the weekly milestones as well as technical details important for completion of your Capstone Project Presentation. You are strongly encouraged to plan ahead for the completion of your Capstone Project Presentation in Week 5.

For this week's Capstone milestone, you will focus on selecting a topic for your Capstone Project.
