Culminating Experience Project Proposal

In this course, students will work closely with their faculty advisors to conceive and develop their culminating experiences—practical, creative, or research projects enabling students to make contributions to their field of study and to develop their academic and career goals. Meetings between students and advisors begin during the first week of the first semester (or during orientation) and continue until the final week of the program. Students will present ideas and receive feedback, advice, support, suggestions, guidance, and more from their advisors as they design and execute their culminating experiences and plan their academic and professional careers. Advisors will guide students in meeting the various deadlines and milestones required as students complete their culminating experiences, prepare for graduation, and prepare for their careers. 

In addition, students will meet as a cohort every week in the class course. The class meetings will help students focus and define their culminating experience thesis projects. The final project in the course will be a detailed definition and action plan for each student’s culminating experience.
