COSC - Second Bachelor's (interdisciplinary)

[ztkerls]

Gotcha. So can you describe what that Capstone Part 1 was like? And then what you developed for Capstone Part 2?
And while I'm at it, by the way, congratulations on graduating! I guess we're classmates!  #classof2019 #goacorns

For Liberal Studies or Individualized Studies, you will fall into I think one of six capstone classes based on your concentration focus. I believe they have Business, Math/Science/Technology, and Social/Behavioral Science for Individualized Studies and they have History/Humanities, Math/Science, and Social/Behavioral Science for Liberal Studies. Your advisor will tell you which one you are assigned to after your concentration is approved. For reference, I was in the Business capstone, but they all accomplish the same goals. 

In the first capstone class, the goal is to come up with a proposal that shows that you have the knowledge to warrant a degree and get it approved by your teacher. In my class, I did a research paper, but some of my classmates did powerpoints and video speeches to accomplish the project. The class is 5 weeks long and you basically just toss possible ideas around with the teacher and peers until it is good enough to get approved. They provided me with a template for what they want the proposal to look like. 

In the second capstone class, the goal is to complete the project that was approved in the first class. This class is 10 weeks long and is basically submitting copies of your project and getting feedback from your teacher and peers. You are also expected to give feedback to your peers in this class. After 10 weeks of this, your project is usually ready to submit. 

Neither of these classes are hard if you pick a project that fits well with your knowledge and is not too broad or too specific. With a Business Administration and Psychology concentration I wrote a research paper analyzing the various business practices that exist around the world and the importance of understanding them. It was easy to use both Business and Psychology knowledge in the project.

And yes we are classmates! I used your post as a reference for the classes that picked. I really appreciate that by the way.
