What Capstone Project Should I Choose?
When choosing your Capstone Project option, consider your career goals and timeline.
To complete the MPUB program you can choose from three capstone projects. Your selection should be influenced by your career goals as well as your personal interests. Make sure you read the requirements for each Capstone carefully. If you have questions, or if you are looking for guidance on which option is right for you, reach out to any faculty member!
PUB 899 Publishing Internship Capstone
The suitability and scope of the internship or professional placement must be approved by the supervisory committee. Following completion of the professional placement, the student must submit a 2000–3000 word report that summarizes and reflects critically on their experience and the work completed. The supervisory committee, consisting of a supervisor, second faculty reader, and industry supervisor, will assess the student’s report on the basis of quality of work and clarity of communication.
PUB 900: Self-directed Publishing Project Capstone
The scope of the project will be defined in collaboration with the supervisor. Following completion of the project, the student must submit a 2000–3000 word report that summarizes and reflects critically on their experience and the work completed. The supervisory committee, consisting of a supervisor and second faculty reader, will assess the student’s report on the basis of quality of work and clarity of communication.
PUB 901: Publishing Research Project Capstone
Students must complete two extended essays or a single article-length work (approximately 10,000 words). The student will select a research topic in consultation with their supervisor. The supervisory committee, consisting of a supervisor and second faculty reader, will assess the student’s research on the basis of quality of work and clarity of communication. Your primary supervisor must hold a PhD.
Once you've chosen your capstone, the next step is to find a supervisor.
