Item Capstone Inception: An examination of the purposes, benefits, and different institutional practices(MAPC, The University of Tampa, 2022-12-16) Acevedo, Alyssa; Kristen Foltz, Esq.A standard method of evaluating Master’s seeking graduate students is to have them complete an independent research project with assistance from an academic advisor. These independent research projects can be a thesis or a capstone. Capstone projects are typical for students studying public administration, liberal arts, professional communication, etc. Unlike a thesis, capstone projects are more practical for students who are going into careers that utilize real-world experiences while also applying concepts and theories learned within their master's program. This project will discuss the purposes and benefits of a capstone project academically and professionally, the different practices universities use when assigning a capstone project to students, and suggest a website for the Master of Arts in Professional Communication at the University of Tampa to use to assist future and current students.
