The student works under the supervision of a faculty member and in cooperation with an approved criminal justice field site. The focus of the project must be approved by the Graduate Committee on Criminal Justice. Students are challenged to think independently and critically throughout the process of developing the study. All students participating in the Capstone experience, regardless of the option chosen, meet together in a seminar class. Students share scholarship from their works in progress and discuss issues related to their Capstone experiences.
Faculty facilitate the discussions and oversee the students' work.
At the end of the Capstone experience, students present the results of their internship, project, or thesis to the entire Capstone group.
