Other Capstone Project

In addition to a thesis or Alternate Plan Paper, some graduate programs permit a capstone project that may include:

  • Portfolios
  • Special Projects
  • Creative Efforts
  • Design Projects
  • Published Books*
  • Comprehensive Examinations
  • Comprehensive Capstone Course

This list is not meant to be inclusive. In some programs, combinations of the items noted above are required to complete the capstone experience. These capstone experiences are typically not submitted to or approved by the College of Graduate Studies and Research. Details concerning the capstone experience requirements of each academic program can be located on the web pages of the academic departments and of the College of Graduate Studies and Research.

*Published books may be submitted to the Graduate College in place of manuscript copies if the published book is completed during the student's program, three signature pages are provided with the required copies of the published book, and the student successfully completes the work during the degree program.
