Capstone
The technology capstone course is the last course students take in the MSITS program. Students work in teams assigned by the instructor. The students work on a technology project designed to meet strategic business objectives and requirements for a regional organization.
Utilizing the skills and knowledge gained in the program, students design, develop, and implement a telecommunications or information system under the guidance of a faculty adviser. The environment simulates, to the extent possible, the real-world technology work environment. Student teams solve problems, communicate, negotiate, analyze, and complete the project to the client's satisfaction and the faculty's academic report (thesis) requirements. Class meetings are held by the instructor to discuss the projects and share project updates periodically during the semester.
Adviser approval is required to enroll. All core and elective courses must be completed before enrolling in the capstone. Due to the nature and intensity of the capstone project, no other course may be taken with the capstone.
Students who wish to broaden their studies may apply for a graduate certificate in an area of concentration upon completion of requirements for the MSITS.
