The project should include the cover page, contents, and other formatting as per the manual. It should also include an abstract, introduction, literature review, findings/journal, and the end result of the project itself.
The following checklist may prove helpful!
Must address at least one of our current program objectives
Title Page exactly as in End of Program Capstone Manual but noting a Project instead of thesis
University publication license/copyright page
Dedication (optional)
Acknowledgement (optional)
Abstract with correct title heading
Table of Contents
Dot leaders
Left justified
Double spaced between entries
Make sure to list Appendices after References
List of Tables
List of Figures
List of Acronyms/Abbreviations if applicable
NOTE: The formatting requirements are in the Capstone Manual (EOP Manual).
APA format if not otherwise indicated by the agency for which the project is being done
The rest of the capstone project is flexible as far as format
If there is not a required format by your agency, then it should be a narrative with an introduction, literature review, analysis, explanation of the project in the appendix (remember it still has to be the equivalent of the 50-page thesis but you don’t have to go strictly by page limit, particularly if much of your work is gathering data, etc. and the reporting does not take that many pages)
If the agency has a required format, use that. For instance, if you are writing an Army white paper for leadership, it will be in the format required by the Army’s style manual, which may be different than ours. That is fine. If your project is a grant submission that will be the bulk of the design but you will still need to cover the background aspects in a literature review, etc.
The literature review may be more grounded in comparative analysis of “best practices” of other agencies, etc. An initial lead-in of scholarly sources is recommended but this is grounded in practice not theory.
The idea is to make this project as practically applicable as possible.
