聽"I am excited that my capstone research was accepted as a panel presentation at this meeting," Arens said.聽 "Dr. Lunnen is my research advisor for capstone."
聽 The final component of Liberal Studies at 91视频 is a senior capstone course, which is at least a four-semester-hour course within the major designed to provide an opportunity for students to evaluate and assess the strengths and limitations of their major field.
