Capstone Process
The McMullen Scholars represent the most academically talented students that Calvert Hall has to offer, but what makes the program unique is that their talents are not confined to the classroom. A central part of being a McMullen is the McMullen Capstone Experience. This part of the curriculum, which begins in Junior year, challenges students to investigate an original research topic and develop a significant scholarly paper to defend their ideas. The McMullen faculty team advises students along the way, ensuring that they take the steps necessary to ensure a superb final product. An essential component of the research process is selecting an outside mentor who will act as an advisor and resource for the student. The expert allows the student to get a sense of most up-to-date information and practices in the field. The vast resources at Scholars’ disposal ensures that the project stands as the crowning achievement of the students’ Calvert Hall careers.
