Integrated Studies Capstone: Professional Track

3 units

This capstone course requires students to complete a basic research project that integrates the knowledge and skills they have acquired throughout their program. The course takes an academic approach to business problem solving and provides the basis for understanding how students' education and life experiences open pathways to employment in a career that complements their talents and abilities. Students will analyze a chosen problem or opportunity in an industry that is of professional interest to them, formulate a number of potential solutions to the problem, defend the selected solution, and discuss the implementation and impact of the solution. The capstone project will be a reflective, challenging, imaginative, and creative facet of the student's academic experience. Prerequisites: The capstone is not limited to students in the BSIS program. However, students should have completed 90 units of study toward their degree and at least 9 units of professional studies course work.
