Capstones

Each undergraduate CST major successfully completes an individual capstone research project to earn the degree

During their senior year, each CST student takes a 400-level CST course that has a capstone component. Within the context of that course, each capstoning student crafts an original paper and oral presentation that bring together key aspects of her/his undergraduate learning in communication & media. Each capstone-eligible CST course offers some choice among individualized and equally rigorous capstone experiences that develop and showcase students' skilled achievement (and enjoyment) of CST learning outcomes.

Capstone projects help communication & media students integrate key knowledge and abilities within their chosen specialties by having them analyze and apply what they have learned in richly pragmatic ways. They benefit a student's graduation profile by giving the chance to gain relevant experience, master subject matter and analysis, and create artifacts useful for career entry, development, and advancement.
