Capstone

The Capstone serves as an opportunity to reflect upon,
integrate, and showcase learning achievement. It must
be taken as the last course in the Master’s program
sequence of study.

Participants will each identify a “problem of practice” in
their professional experience, document how they put
their program learning to use by integrating theory with
practice, and author a Problem of Practice Case Study
about that work. As an alternative, participants may
elect to conduct an XN Project (in lieu of the Case Study).

Participants will also create a Professional ePortfolio
that depicts their values, strengths, and work samples
from experiences that demonstrates those strengths.
The Professional ePortfolio will integrate the high
quality work that participants have created during the
program with other work experiences, with the goal of
communicating their distinctiveness to supervisors and
prospective employers. The Problem of Practice case
and Professional ePortfolio will also position graduates
to apply for a doctoral degree if desired.
