3 Credit(s)

The capstone course requires the student to create a project that connects theory to practice. Feminist theory will guide all projects and provide a framework for one of three foci: (1) an empirical research project, (2) an artistic and/or creative project, or (3) a community activism or civic engagement project. Regardless of which focus a student chooses, the project requires engagement of people beyond the BVU community. The capstone project also requires a public presentation of the student’s work.
