The Public Safety Administration major is only a 5 week Capstone, I think most of the others are going to be between 8 and 15 weeks.....either way it's doable, just not in the same semester.
I might be in the minority here, but I chose COSC in part because they required things like a Cornerstone and a Capstone. Their standards have actually gone up since I enrolled, of course that could be just a result of increased oversight on all schools from the New England Association of Colleges and Schools.
I'm looking at the liberal studies: history/humanities capstone which applies to students who are taking either history or humanities as an area of concentration plus another area. It's really late/early so forgive me if I'm not too coherent. Does that mean that liberal studies students who have selected an area of study that is one area of the humanities (like religion or literature, not just humanities) would be taking this capstone?
