Thesis, Capstone, and Honors courses usually come at the end of your academic program, acting as a comprehensive project that shows off what you鈥檝e learned in the course, semester, or potentially your whole degree! These courses can involve unique research, practical projects, presentations, or developing something else entirely. The goal is to take your experience and knowledge and apply it to a real-world problem.
These courses are an excellent chance to gain expertise on a specific topic, while practicing your research and critical thinking skills. Thesis, Capstone, and Honors courses also help you take ownership of your own experience, goals, and overall project. This helps you build real world knowledge and experience in research, writing, project management, communication, problem solving and other skills.
Even beyond the course itself, these projects can serve as an inspiration for future research, projects, careers, or even graduate study.
Some examples of these courses include:
- ARTH 499 - Honors Thesis in Art History
- ENVI 413 - Environmental Studies Capstone
- HARP 425 - Digital Inquiry & Practice
- NURS 441 - Nursing Honors Program
