These capstone courses are meant to bridge students to their career as they wrap up their time at ACC.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>While all of our associate degrees have these courses in their degree plan, we only have a requirement for students to take one of the two. For example, a Live Sound student would benefit more from an internship more than a project. A Digital Composition student would likely further benefit from a project. If a student doesn&#8217;t take one of the courses, they will need to replace it with another 3 credit hour class for internship and another 4 credit hour for project.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Questions about which course is best for you?
