SCS 444 Milestone One Guidelines and Rubric
As the final step in your journey toward your Bachelor of Arts in Sociology, you will complete a capstone that integrates the knowledge and skills you have developed throughout your program by creating a white paper and professional presentation. The white paper and presentation will address a real-life workplace problem. You will identify the problem, provide an analysis of applicable research, apply sociological theory and concepts, and provide evidence-based recommendations.

Also, the root sociological problem underlying the situation must be clearly explained. Refer to the critical elements and rubric below to ensure that you are including all required information.
