Final-year business students at Cape Breton University are ready to apply their expertise to real-world projects. Through the Capstone Project course, students focus on critical thinking, decision-making, and using tools like Microsoft Excel to tackle business challenges. We seek employers who can provide practical projects and are open to guiding students, offering regular feedback, and participating in final presentations. Your collaboration will help students refine their skills and provide your business with valuable insights.

This Capstone Project provides students with the opportunity to demonstrate competency on the key concepts of business analytics. Students will integrate knowledge gained throughout the program - including leadership and management principals, analytical skills, data visualization, data mining, and statistics – to complete the capstone project.
