Fall 2020 CAS capstone courses

Students majoring in chemistry, game design & development, interdisciplinary studies, psychology, and law in society will complete an approved integrative capstone as part of their major requirements and do not need to take CAS 420, but they will need to take an additional UC elective course.  All other CAS students must take CAS 420 to complete their capstone requirement, although any student with a double-major should consult with their advisor.  Note CAS students cannot use QU 420 to complete their capstone requirement.
