This course encompasses a broad spectrum of program development ranging from an individual course to a complete program of major learning activities conducted over a period of time for the education and training of adults. This project- based course serves as the Integrative Capstone and is designed to provide an opportunity to apply and practice theories, skills, and principles to a variety of situations adult educators may encounter in practice. Prior to capstone enrollment, students are expected to complete the majority of their required major courses along with CRIT 602G Advanced Critical Analysis and Strategic Thinking and IDIS 601G Interdisciplinary Seminar. Students should consult with their advisor regarding specific major courses that may be completed with their capstone. Academic Advisor approval is required for registration to be processed. NOTE: Students who were admitted to the college before Fall 2019 and have remained active in their original catalog year are not required to take IDIS 601.
