Capstone Examples
Refer-a-Friend The sample capstone projects included here were selected by WGU faculty to provide current students with good examples of the quality of work expected in this culminating phase of their WGU degree program. They are included by permission of the students as examples only and may not be used by others for any purpose.

The Capstone Project consists of two separate components: (1) the instructional package and (2) the written capstone report. Please note that due to various file formats, bandwidth issues, etc., all parts of the instructional package may not be available for viewing online but all examples do include the written report. Additionally, some examples include the PowerPoint slideshow that accompanied the student's oral defense.
