Overview
Learner goals and capabilities

Looking to elevate your organization, and bring it to the next level? Bring on senior-level students from Bay Path University to be your student-consultants, in a project-based experience. Students will work on one main project over the course of the semester, connecting with you as needed with virtual communication tools.

Bay Path University focuses on enhancing career-driven education to women from diverse backgrounds. Students in this interdisciplinary capstone course are given an opportunity to demonstrate their leadership, communications and technology skills through active engagement in a self-directed change project. Building on assignments completed in previous courses, students are responsible for designing, implementing and evaluating an experiential learning project that draws on their talents, interests, strengths and skills to facilitate change in a personal, family, organizational and/or community setting

Expected outcomes and deliverables

Deliverables are negotiable, and will seek to align the needs of the students and the organization.

Some final project deliverables might include:

  1. A 10-15 minute presentation on key findings and recommendations
  2. A detailed report including their research, analysis, insights and recommendations
Project Examples

Students in groups of 3-5 will work with your company to identify your needs and provide actionable recommendations, based on their in-depth research and analysis.

Project activities that students can complete may include, but are not limited to:

  1. Conducting an action research project to facilitate change in a chosen setting
  2. Analyzing and discussing the change process and how others have created change locally, nationally and globally
  3. Explaining the link between leadership, vision, values and actions
  4. Identifying and solving a personal, family, organizational and/or community problem
  5. Presenting a completed e-portfolio, reflecting on the written documents and presentations that highlight your learning, career progression and project achievements over the course of your degree program
  6. Demonstrating their abilities as an empowered learner and leader who can contribute to our increasingly interdependent world
