COM4000 SpT: Capstone I

This is a hands-on, interactive course that engages students to work together in small teams to explore their topic area of interest within the COMEL BA. Students will make a compelling argument for the topic they have chosen and advocate for it in the form of a persuasive pitch. These topics may be in the realm of leadership for organizational change and/or multimedia productions and storytelling. This is the penultimate course that prepares students to explore and to pitch their ideas which leads to Capstone II. Resources used include library research, field work, field trips and a mix of primary and secondary research. Team building skills will be taught and practiced. Work will focus on applied grounded theory in the fields of business, communication and entrepreneurship. Final deliverables are a written project plan to be used in Capstone II, visual presentation and a pitch. Credits: 3
