CIST 8950 GRADUATE CAPSTONE (3 credits)
The graduate capstone course challenges students to prove their mastery of the skills and domain knowledge they have gathered throughout their program of study. The course begins with a module on project management and research best practices. The majority of course is structured around facilitating a non-trivial semester-long project, often in service to a third-party project sponsor, such as a community, industry, or government partner. The course is intended for students that have selected the coursework option, not thesis, and that are close to graduation (see prerequisites).
Prerequisite(s): Students must have 9 credit hours or fewer left in their program. Not open to non-degree graduate students.
