CAPSTONE PROJECT
Capstone projects are a senior year experience that enables students to transition to a profession or graduate school and continue to pursue life-long learning and social responsibility. As part of their capstone, students can earn industry-recognized credentials and practice their skills by completing a project for your organization.
