One of the expectations of ICC Capstone courses is providing students with an opportunity to develop and complete a final required artifact. Reflecting on the integration of the ICC with the student's major and/or minor course of study at Ithaca College is the intention of this artifact. H&S students may satisfy the ICC capstone requirement in one of two ways:
- some programs have developed or are developing discipline-based capstone courses, and in some cases have added these into the degree requirements for the major; these department-based courses have the appropriate Capstone designation;
- for students in programs or departments without discipline-based capstone options, the School of Humanities and Sciences offers a one-credit school-based capstone course, IISP 49800 H&S Integrative Core Curriculum Capstone. Multiple sections of this course will be offered each year, taught by faculty drawn from across the school.
