The Capstone experience is generally designed to encourage students to think critically, solve challenging problems, and develop skills such as oral communication, public speaking, research skills, media literacy, teamwork, planning, self-sufficiency, or goal setting—i.e., skills that will help prepare them for modern careers and adult life.

The goal of the capstone is to provide an intense experiential learning opportunity where the students are required to guide themselves through inquiry and research.

For example, students are asked to select a topic, profession, or social problem that interests them, conduct research on the subject, maintain a report of findings or results and create a final product demonstrating their learning acquisition or conclusions (short film, website, app, or multimedia platform) and give a public presentation to an audience of teachers, experts, community members who collectively evaluate its quality.

This final course of their senior capstone experience requires the student to demonstrate summative competence in multiple ways. 1) Reflection of creative process to execution 2) Work with a Creative Media faculty member whose interests
 and expertise will facilitate the projects in question. These instructors are responsible for 
guiding the students enrolled in the course through the execution phase resulting in a
 deliverable that demonstrates applied research. 3) Develop a deliverable of the solution.
