ORL Capstone Project - 4 credits

The Capstone Project provides students the opportunity to research and explore a problem or issue within their field of study. Similar in weight to a thesis, but more flexible, this culminating academic endeavor requires students to synthesize and apply core concepts acquired from their master’s degree program. The student selects an approved Capstone advisor, who is also knowledgeable in the field of study, to serve as a resource, subject-matter expert, and evaluator during the entire process. Grading will focus on the quality and professionalism of applied research and writing; critical and creative thinking; problem-solving skills; demonstration of appropriate method of inquiry, and contribution to the field and topic of study. Please see the Capstone Guidelines for additional details.
