A capstone is a culminating learning experience that requires students to integrate and apply knowledge and skills gained throughout their academic program. Capstones often involve substantial projects, portfolios, research, or real-world problem-solving.
Capstones help students connect learning across courses, demonstrate mastery of program outcomes, and prepare for professional practice or graduate study. They provide a meaningful opportunity for students to showcase their growth and readiness.
