DISC 4990 - Capstone SW

3 hours

Students completing a Discover Degree will take this capstone course in their last semester in which they apply knowledge from their interdisciplinary experience to a professional internship, service learning, or thesis project. Each proposed capstone project should establish a clear interdisciplinary purpose that adequately recognizes all academic areas the student has completed as part of the degree and receive prior approval from the Discover Degree Committee. As part of the project, Discover Degree students are required to identify a supervising faculty member from one of their emphasis areas. The faculty supervisor must be a full-time member of Young Harris College with a minimum rank of Assistant Professor. The faculty supervisor will assist in the development of the capstone project and will evaluate the outcome of the project. For students who select a professional internship or a service learning project, the faculty supervisor will evaluate the student’s performance in collaboration with the internship/service learning sponsor. That can be accomplished with a performance evaluation from the sponsor.
