The Capstone Project is your opportunity to synthesize the Program  Learning Outcomes and demonstrate your mastery of your Program of Study.  This Capstone Project will challenge you to integrate ideas presented  in all your previous courses. The Capstone Project should also push you  beyond the boundaries of your prior work. You will creatively explore  and apply the knowledge and experiences gained from your core courses  and electives, websites, and additional readings and research. Blending  these experiences and resources will help you to complete a Mini  Literature Review and a final Capstone Project Presentation.

In Weeks 1–5, you will have Capstone milestones to complete.  Each of these milestones contributes to your Mini Literature Review and  Capstone Project Presentation. Please note that this process is  iterative and will require revision and refinement as you move from the  beginning to the conclusion of your Capstone Project. To assist you in  this process, please refer to the Capstone Project Guide located within  the Program of Study button. This document provides an  overview of the weekly milestones as well as technical details important  for completion of your Capstone Project Presentation. You are strongly  encouraged to plan ahead for the completion of your Capstone Project  Presentation in Week 5.

For this week's Capstone milestone, you will focus on selecting a topic for your Capstone Project.

Capstone Milestone-Topic Selection

For your Capstone milestone this week, you will develop a topic  for the Capstone Project that synthesizes Program Learning Outcomes  from your Program of Study. The topic for the project, as well as your  approach, should be personally tailored to suit your unique perspectives  and the area of concentration you studied.

To prepare for this Capstone Project milestone:

• Review your Program Learning Outcomes document (located in the Learning Resources area)
• Review the Capstone Project Guide (located in the Learning Resources area)
• Refer to this week's Learning Resources for ideas for  possible topics. In particular, you are encouraged to review the Program  Resource List found in the Program of Study button.

To complete this Capstone Project, write a 4–5 sentence summary  of your topic. Be sure to include a title and a rationale for your  project. The Instructor will provide guidance on and approval of your  topic.

Be sure to support your work with specific citations from this  week's Learning Resources and additional scholarly sources as  appropriate. Refer to the Essential Guide to APA Style for Walden Students to ensure that your in-text citations and reference list are correct.
