HON 198A Honors Capstone Project

Open only to students admitted to the Honors Program, the Honors Capstone Seminars are courses designed to guide Honors Scholars in their final requirements of the Honors Program. These courses must be taken consecutively. The Honors Capstone course ordinarily should be taken in the students’ sophomore or junior year, though it may be done during the senior year in some circumstances. In alignment with Mount Saint Mary’s University’s Mission Statement, the Honors Capstone is designed to build upon our Honors Scholars' academic and leadership skills as a means to foster the Mount’s spirit to serve by responding to current issues our local and global communities are facing. During this course, Honors Scholars will collectively select an issue to explore and execute a project from start to finish as a means to incorporate a service learning component to increase awareness and or influence change. Upon the completion of the Honors Capstone, students will be working towards submitting proposals for consideration into the Mount Academic Symposium.
