MSA Capstone Resources (698/699): Sample MSA 699 Capstones

The sample MSA 699 capstones were selected by MSA instructors as examples of quality capstones rather than absolute models of content and format. The CMU Libraries did not participate in the selection of the sample capstones and does not have access to additional capstones. NOTE: The sample MSA 699 projects were written and submitted prior to curricular changes made in Fall 2024. Students should consult the course syllabus, Blackboard shell, and instructor for guidance.

If you have questions concerning the writing and preparation of your capstone, please contact your instructor. For help researching your topic, Ask a Librarian.
