Students must complete a substantial capstone paper or project in one of their areas of concentration. This capstone will rely in some way on a culmination of knowledge or skill acquired through the BIS. Papers and projects may vary widely in form, depending on a student's program. The capstone will be identified and approved at the time of program approval. The majority of students will do the capstone course required in one of their areas of concentration.
Students who do a dual degree or double major and choose to complete the CLA capstone requirement in their other major are still required to take the B.I.S. capstone.
