Capstone Projects/Applied Research Projects
Capstone projects attempt to solve a real problem through applied research.
In applied research projects, students are engaged in research that occurs primarily in workplaces. This includes consulting projects, design projects, and community-based research projects.
Example: Students in a Public and International Affairs program develop a Cabinet Submission document in collaboration with a public sector organization to explore policy issues that confront the client and propose recommendations (MCU, 2020).
