A capstone project may be arranged as an option for completion of the
last three elective credits in the MLA program requirements. Capstone
projects must be approved by the Director of Student Servies, the faculty member, and the Dean,
to assure compliance with degree plan, academic credibility, and administrative approval.
The capstone prject is similar to an independent study. The purpose of
the final project is to integrate the thinking that has evolved through completion of
the MLA course work and relate it ot professional and community activities. Examples
of capstone project formats are:
- A philsophical essay on a relevant issue.
- An original research project involving interviews or questionnaires.
- An extensive research paper.
- Other formats approved by the Dean and supervising faculty member.
Regardless of the format selected, the project must be submitted in its entirity to be maintained by
Baker University.
A careful statement must be prepared by the student prior to enrollment, providing
title, general outline, purpose, procedure, and bibliography for the project. Forms for such
statements are available from Student Services. If the capstone project is approved, registration must
be compelted with the Academic Records office and tuition paid in advance.
