"Whether they're called 'senior capstones' or some other name, culminating experiences require students nearing the end of their college years to create a project of some sort that integrates and applies what they've learned.The project might be a research paper, a performance, a portfolio of 'best work,' or an exhibit of artwork. Capstones are offered both in departmental programs and, increasingly, in general education as well." -- George D. Kuh
