Independent Capstone Guidelines

The Hesburgh Program Independent Capstone fulfills a University Writing Intensive Course requirement (WRIT) and is offered as an alternative to our capstone course. Students interested in doing an independent capstone project should consult with Claudia Francis the semester prior to undertaking the project.
