Capstone Project

Every Marymount BA student completes a senior Capstone project. Capstone projects, experiences, and deliverables vary across programs and students, allowing for a very individualized culminating experience in each BA program.

Through these projects, students gain experience in planning and designing an original project, conduct appropriate research to frame and ground their work, constructively critique and support one another’s work, and present in a professional setting. Students use the projects to demonstrate attainment of program learning outcomes, and are supported in their professional and academic growth along the way. Graduate and career preparation is directly enhanced by the development of skills, reflection, engagement, and record of work produced as part of the Capstone year.
