Like every Quinnipiac student, your academic experience here will culminate in an integrative capstone project that illustrates the depth of your knowledge and skill not only to your professors and peers, but also to potential future employers.
We know that each academic program — and student — is unique, and therefore no two capstone projects are the same in scope or execution. Communications and media studies students may produce a documentary over four years that showcases their visual storytelling ability, while students in civil engineering may spend the bulk of their senior year working with a local environmental agency. Capstones also can be collaborative and interdisciplinary, allowing you to contribute your expertise to a greater project alongside peers from several other majors. Your adviser will work closely with you to map out exactly what your project will look like — and it will become your crowning achievement.
Your capstone is a true passion project that synthesizes every bit of knowledge you’ve acquired and allows you to do or create something impactful with it. Moreover, it stands as a testament of your capabilities and growth from curious student to an extraordinarily well-prepared professional.
