What is a capstone course?
Capstone courses are designed to integrate what psychology majors have already learned from the undergraduate curriculum with a hands-on experience in teaching, research, and/or community service. The courses are intended for seniors or advanced juniors, and are generally small – often fewer than 10 students. Thus, capstones also present a unique opportunity to become better acquainted with a professor and his or her work. Capstone subjects vary from semester to semester and generally have a narrow focus. Brief descriptions of the courses are available on AIM. More detailed descriptions are available at the Undergraduate Coordinator’s office (1150V SWKT).
