Capstone

The capstone requirement may be satisfied with one of the following courses: CSCI-472 Software Engineering: Practicum, CSCI-483 Compiler Theory or CSCI-500 Senior Colloquium.

Students need not fulfill the capstone requirement in their major, but they usually do. A capstone course taken as a junior does fulfill the requirement, but not as a sophomore.
