Your LEEP Capstone will draw on all you’ve learned during your first three years at Clark.
You’ll complete a LEEP Capstone in your major independently or as part of a group. This endeavor will involve advanced work that addresses a significant issue, problem, or theme in your field — or in the world. It can take the form of a thesis or project; in consultation with a faculty adviser, you will define and carry forward the project on your own initiative.
Students pursue research, internships, and theses on campus, in Worcester, or in another part of the world. Capstone projects encompass a spectacular range of topics and opportunities. Past projects have included:
