The Keystone Project is designed to provide an opportunity for the student to
exhibit academic skills and showcase his or her development as a comprehensive
critical and creative thinker. In this regard, The Keystone Project also serves as a
Comprehensive Core capstone course in that it functions as a mid-way assessment
point where the College assesses the degree to which it has succeeded in
developing comprehensive core knowledge and foundational skills in its student
body. Moreover, The Keystone Project is a gateway experience that ushers the
student into the rigors of upper-level studies in the major.
