The BUS698 Capstone Project is an opportunity for you to bring together everything you have learned within your MSM program and integrate that into your next steps as a professional.

 This project will require you to construct a detailed and well-thought-out analysis of a real-world business by employing many of the business theories, concepts, and strategic analysis tools studied throughout your MS program. The capstone project will take the full term to complete. A portion of the project will be completed and submitted within Modules 1, 3, 5, 6 & 7 with the final submission due during Module 8.

The overall project is worth 45% of your final course grade. Unless otherwise noted, all submitted work will be formatted to APA (American Psychological Association) standards, with citations and references included. For the final deliverable, you are expected to incorporate all updates into one cohesive document, with a cover page, executive summary, table of contents, and a reference section.
