The capstone course will allow students to practice the skills and knowledge acquired in a focused and intentional manner with other IT professionals, improving community among participants. This concept supports the pedagogical principles and practices that are integral to most masters programs. These online courses are completed at a pace driven by candidates.

Weekly papers should be no more than three pages in length, double-spaced, 12-font with reference citations and a list of works cited. Papers should be written using an accepted and consistent thesis paper format. Kate Turabain's A Manual for Writers of Thesis, Term Papers and Dissertations is recommended as a reference. That reference and others are readily available in bookstores or on the Internet. There is a requirement to submit a thesis paper at the end of the course based on an approved thesis and research question. Candidates for certification will complete independent research and write assignments on topics as well as produce a paper that will represent the culminating project for the course.
