The senior capstone course for Global Studies majors is designed to give students the chance to define and complete a research project of personal interest, and to integrate the interdisciplinary aspects of their entire curricula into one project. Students must complete GSLA 48000 and GSLA 48001. The capstone courses are offered to students in their senior year to be completed the final two semesters of their major. Students will assemble a committee of two or more faculty members willing to direct their work. The Director of Global Studies will be an ex-officio member of the committee. Students will incorporate their prior coursework (including foreign language training), study abroad, and/or internships into their final project. The capstone may be, but is not limited to, a senior honors project, a multimedia project, service learning, or directed research.
