Students prepare seminar papers, a research paper, and oral presentations. This course examines theoretical frameworks used to explore culture and then uses these theories to examine current debates on national identities and multicultural education in an international context. This is usually accomplished at the end of the program. Its function is to help integrate the material studied throughout the program and to apply it to a project that is specific to each student's needs and interests. Students work closely with a member of the Simmons faculty for this Capstone project.
Students plan their elective courses with the director of the program.
