Capstone
How do you know that what you’ve learned in a Walden program will be effective in your life and career?
The capstone course brings together the knowledge gained throughout your program, solidifying your abilities as a consumer of research. By completing a capstone project at the end of your program, you’ll use what you learned to work to solve a real-world problem in your field, gaining the satisfaction of making a difference. A capstone project is a demonstration of your commitment to continued professional knowledge.
The capstone may take different forms depending on your particular program. Typically, within a capstone course, you will write a paper that
- Identifies a complex problem or issue in your profession
- Integrates the skills, tools, and knowledge you’ve gained in your program
- Incorporates research for an academic perspective
- Offers a practical, real-world solution
The capstone project can serve as a professional “calling card,” demonstrating to the Walden community and to your professional colleagues your mastery of the competencies addressed in your program, your ability to understand and interpret the literature in your field, and your skill at identifying and solving complex problems.
