In the capstone course, UW Sustainable Management bachelor’s and master’s students gain valuable, practical experience through a semester-long fieldwork project. Students may complete the project at their current place of employment, or arrange for online project work with an external organization. The capstone is an opportunity for students to reflect on everything they’ve learned in the program by designing a project that aligns with their career goals in sustainable business.

Erin Bauer, a master’s degree student in UW Sustainable Management, summarized the capstone presentations on the WSBC blog.
