3credit hour(s)Prerequisite:SOCI 1110 + any 2000 level SOCI course The Capstone class revolves around a central theme of public sociology and criminology. As you put your sociological/criminological perspectives into action, you will have opportunities to reflect on your previous training at CNM and how to best achieve your future education and career goals. You will participate in public sociology/criminology through a community engagement project. The project will allow you to practice and express the sociological perspective you’ve developed in past semesters. It will also be an opportunity for you to translate academic skills into professional terms that will be useful for whatever realm you enter next. To that end, you will also explore various jobs that sociologists and criminologists pursue, learn about professional networks that may further occupational goals, and prepare materials to use in applying for careers and/or academic programs.
