CSCL majors will complete their capstone by taking two CSCL 5xxx-level courses. These courses are focused seminars with a mix of graduate and undergraduate students. Some seminars invite students to investigate a particular medium, while others explore a specific topic in depth. Capstone courses foster critical independence while offering students an intellectual synthesis of the coursework in their major. In order for CSCL 5993 to count, it must be taken for 3 credits.

Students who double major in CLA and choose to complete the capstone requirement in their other CLA major are still required to take the Cultural Studies and Comparative Literature BA capstone.
