Two capstone seminars—one each semester of the senior year—provide opportunities for majors to complete a significant research project related to their area of concentration and to review and prepare for the comprehensive written and oral examinations that all IS majors take at the end of their senior year.
The following list includes current and historic, individual student research projects, public presentations from conferences, symposia and exhibitions*, and peer-reviewed publications. For abstracts on each project see Students as Scholars.
Students can get a list of their projects by going to CLIQ in the Gateway. Under the CLIQ menu, go to Profiles and then My ePortfolio. If you are an alum and would like a copy of your projects, please submit a research project request form.
