Program Portfolio (Capstone) Project Overview

The student will develop, create and present a business proposal during the capstone course.  Students may use a current business; a business the student wants to create or a fictitious business organization.  The important key is for the student to critically think and research the business which will be used to develop a business plan in its entirety.  The student will need to think about all the facets of a business for the duration of the Program Portfolio (Capstone) Project.

Each BASBOL core course is an active part of students developing, creating and completing a segment of the Program Portfolio (Capstone) Project.  The BASBOL core program courses learning objectives all align with students developing, creating and completing the Program Portfolio (Capstone) Project.  Students will apply the knowledge, skills and abilities learned from each BASBOL core program course(s) toward the development, creation and completion of the Program Portfolio Project.

Program Portfolio (Capstone) Project – Course GEB 3213:  Develop a basic portfolio business organization description.  Develop and create an introduction of the business you will be using for the duration of the Program Portfolio Project. Use Research examples to support the development of your Program Portfolio Project introduction and overall format. 

You are required to submit a Page (Title Page and 2 Pages of Content), APA formatted paper with substantial content. Substantial content requires staying on topic and fully addresses the assignment in a clear, concise, and meaningful manner. The deliverable length of your posting responses must be at least page (Title Page and 2 Pages of Content), APA format.  Please review your paper for grammar and punctuation errors.

Just a few pointers towards the project for this course. You’ll notice that it said, “Develop and create an introduction of the business you will be using for the duration of the Program Portfolio Project”. So, while the Capstone Project will be a Portfolio Business Organization description, the focus of the project for this course will be on your introduction or overview of the Business that you will use for the duration of the program.

Focus on the business writing and communication techniques, so be mindful of your format, writing style, writing in the third person rather than using “I”, uniformed fonts, appropriate paragraphing and subheadings for the different sections etc. While you are not expected to be submitting a detailed business plan now with marketing plans, financial details or operational plans, please feel free to do that if you are comfortable with it.

As you progress through different courses, the focus of the respective projects will be according to the course itself, for example, the Marketing Management project will be focusing on the marketing aspect of your business plan. At the end of the program, you will be putting everything together.

Please remember to cite your sources by ensuring that your submissions have the relevant references in order to maintain academic integrity.
