On campus students: 4th quarter and summer
Online students: the last year of degree completion
Students gain the opportunity to demonstrate integration of skills and knowledge, develop a significant component of their portfolio, and contribute to the field. The Capstone Project will generally last 2 quarters. Students will join an active work group, supervised directly or indirectly by the capstone preceptor. They will also have a faculty advisor. The student will be responsible for spending time at the Capstone site, with specific timing to be negotiated with the capstone preceptor. Attendance may include participating in project and staff meetings, as well as front-line activity, such as working with clients. A presentation will be made of the final report at a Capstone Presentation Seminar, with students, faculty, and capstone preceptors in attendance.
