Soon thereafter, students begin sophisticated coursework that incorporates state-of-the-art concepts. Upper level coursework involves two separate fieldwork requirements, and summits with the Capstone.<\/p>\n<h4>Capstone<\/h4>\n<p>The capstone combines the near-graduate\u2019s expertise and final field experience into a body of work shared with peers and faculty.
