Program Portfolio (Capstone) Project Overview

The student will develop, create and present a business proposal during the capstone course. Students may use a current business; a business the student wants to create or a fictitious business organization. The important key is for the student to critically think and research the business which will be used to develop a business plan in its entirety. The student will need to think about all the facets of a business for the duration of the Program Portfolio (Capstone) Project.

Each BASBOL core course is an active part of students developing, creating and completing a segment of the Program Portfolio (Capstone) Project. The BASBOL core program courses learning objectives all align with students developing, creating and completing the Program Portfolio (Capstone) Project. Students will apply the knowledge, skills and abilities learned from each BASBOL core program course(s) toward the development, creation and completion of the Program Portfolio Project.
