SMC Capstone

Capstone is the final course of our Camak Core professional development concentration where students implement a project to apply the knowledge and career skills they have gained through SMC's innovative Bachelor’s degree programs.

This project-based learning experience culminates at the APEX Showcase, the grand finale of the students' capstone projects. Join us to see the top three presentations and network with our seniors to find out what they have to offer the workforce as they graduate!

DYK? All SMC Bachelor's degree students complete 18 credit hours of professional development courses!
