The Capstone: Tying It All Together

Four years of studying, researching and curiosity all come together during your senior year at Elizabethtown College. The capstone project ties together your major course work, liberal arts studies and a practical, “real world” learning application! It’s the culmination of your years of work, whether a showcase, project, publication or portfolio.

Required of every student regardless of your major, you’ll have the chance to complete a project unique to your specific interests and field of study! Though each academic department approaches capstone courses differently, largely what you choose to study will be directed by you, with help from your advisor. The capstone is not only a great final portfolio piece, but also a chance to pursue an answer to a burning question, create something that inspires you, or give back to the community.
