Community Pathways

 

During the Senior year each undergraduate student is required to participate in a Senior Capstone. The Senior Capstone is a community-based learning experience that:

• Provides an opportunity for students to apply the expertise they have learned in their major to real issues and problems in the community;
• Enhances students ability to work in a team context necessitating collaboration with persons from different fields of specialization;
• Encourages students to become actively involved in this community.

Each student will work with a team of students and faculty. Each Senior Capstone must result in some form of summation, closing project, or final product that puts closure to the students' experience. Senior Capstones vary in length ranging from one term to three terms, depending on the specific nature of the Capstone.
