Integrated Studies Capstone: Research Track

3 units

This capstone course requires students to complete a research project integrating the knowledge and skills they have acquired throughout their program. The course takes a qualitative academic approach to solving a problem (defined by the student with the support of the instructor). Students will analyze a chosen problem, formulate several potential pathways surrounding the problem, and defend their hypothesis/thesis. This discussion of their research project will include the implementation and impact of a proposed solution or pathway. The capstone project will be a reflective, challenging, imaginative, and creative facet of the student’s academic experience.
