SS 499 - Undergraduate Capstone

Credit(s): 3.00

One of the definitions of the word “capstone” is a crowning achievement. This course is meant to provide students an opportunity to perform a final research or community/service project that they consider the crowning achievement of their undergraduate program. Students are expected to draw from their coursework, personal experience, and research or community/service work conducted outside the classroom. Students receive mentorship and peer support throughout the term. At the end of the term, students will complete a paper and/or compile their program portfolio, and/or some other, equivalent project (to be approved by the program director), and present a 10-minute oral presentation to their peers. If students choose a paper or approved equivalent project, they can be collaborative with up to four other students (five total), but each student must contribute an individual section of the paper and each section must adhere to the capstone rubric. The same is true for the presentations. Prerequisite(s): Completion of a minimum of 75 undergraduate credits at NUNM, including SS 422 . Note: Additional fee required.
