Students have the opportunity to participate in an exciting interdisciplinary master's capstone project with members of their cohort. This dynamic model was the first of its kind in the nation. Today, these client-based projects continue to have a real impact and teach invaluable applied skills to the teams involved. The experiential learning-focused master's project is the standard capstone experience for our students. However, some SEAS students obtain approval for alternative options such as a thesis.
