Frequently asked questions

Why must PSYC4900 be taken in the student's final quarter?

The capstone project is designed to integrate everything a student has learned across the entire psychology program — research methods, theoretical knowledge, analytical skills, and scholarly writing. Taking it before completing the full curriculum would mean students haven't yet developed all the competencies the capstone is designed to showcase. By requiring it in the final quarter, Capella ensures the project serves as a genuine culminating demonstration of program-wide learning rather than a mid-program exercise that misses later coursework contributions.
