This is a required course for the Major in Environment & Society which is designed to integrate the entire programme of study.
“As ‘cap stone’ is the piece of stone finishing a building, a capstone course is the culminating experience of an educational program. Capstones are integrative as they enable students to synthesize disciplinary information collected over their undergraduate experience and apply their knowledge to new problems or contexts. They are reflective as they allow students the time to reflect on what has been learned during their studies. They are transitional as they prepare students for the next step in their career trajectory, whether it be in graduate school or industry.” ([1] https://teaching.uwo.ca/teaching/assessing/capstone.html).
