Description

The Capstone is the culminating research project in the Community Economic Development curriculum. It entails developing a substantive project that draws from the knowledge and skills accumulated through the UMB experience. During the course of studies in Community Development students have been exposed to an array of concepts, ideas, issues, and challenges impacting human communities across the US and globally. The capstone provides the opportunity to pursue an in-depth analysis of a topic chosen by the students. It requires students to sharpen their ability to assess different frameworks and approaches to a community economic development issue, formulate relevant questions, develop a coherent position, and be able to explain their knowledge to others.

This course is closed for registration.
