This is the first course in a three-part doctoral capstone series. It serves as an introduction to the capstone process, where students will learn about the project progression throughout the curriculum and the timeline for completing its components. Students will explore potential capstone project topics and be introduced to the ACOTE focus areas. As students identify an area of focus for their capstone project, they will be paired with a faculty mentor. Under the mentor’s guidance, students will begin conducting a literature review and initiate communication with potential community partners. (Prerequisites - OTD 722, OTD 732)
