This 1-credit course is designed to guide students through the conceptualization of their two-part capstone project. Students will identify a relevant social work issue, conduct an informal review of the literature, and develop research questions aligned with their chosen area of focus. The course previews the capstone process, project objectives, methodology, and outcomes. By the end of the course, students will produce a formal capstone proposal for parts I and II of their capstone that integrates advanced social work theory, ethics, and practice, preparing them for the next phase of their doctoral project.
