HEA 6970 - Capstone

The capstone experience requires a synthesis of theories, conceptual frameworks, and experiential learning throughout the program. Students must develop a research or professional development project that demonstrates evidence‐based decision making, an understanding of specific higher education/professional contexts, and strategic analysis. Students with no fulltime work experience in higher education are advised to integrate experiential learning into their projects. The instructor must approve capstone proposals before students start their projects. At the end of the program, students present their projects to the academic community. Credits: 4 Apply learning across program coursework to address a contemporary issue in higher education.
