Capstone Projects
Most programs within CEAS require students complete capstone projects, the embodiment of their academic and professional academic experience. As a culminating experience, the capstone requires interdisciplinary and contextual perspectives. This senior-year experience enables students to transition to a profession or graduate school and pursue life-long learning and social responsibility. Below are some recent capstone examples.
