- The Capstone Experience in Women's Studies
All majors will be required to select a capstone experience, with
the guidance of their adviser, from the following three options
offered
in 2006-07. Students should begin to think about which option would
best fit their concentration when they declare the major. They must
declare their option by the end of their junior year.
Option Three is the traditional senior honors thesis which requires
two units over the senior year. See Academic Distinctions
for requirements. A thesis does not need to have an experiential component
but typically it is based on some original research. Option Two must
involve an experiential component.
- Summer internships
The department offers students two internships for summer experiences.
Students are expected to work at a placement for the summer which
could be in the U.S. or outside of the U.S. These internships can
be turned into a Capstone Experience. Learn more or apply .
