Culmination
Capstone projects are individualized plans of study developed and completed by each student with the mentorship of a two-member committee (one internal faculty member and one chosen outside mentor.) Capstone projects are focused on areas of study that assist students to advance expertise in their selected area of practice/professional development and can be related to advanced clinical practice, teaching, research or other identified areas.
