 A doctoral capstone (e.g., dissertation, project study, etc.) is required in the final phase of a student's doctoral journey. During capstone development, students integrate their program of study into an in-depth exploration culminating in the completion of a doctoral research study. Students complete the study independently, with the support of a capstone committee, and following the guidance from program capstone resources. and the Doctoral Degree Coach. Once enrolled in the capstone course, students are registered each term until the successful completion of all stages.
