High Impact Practices (HIPs)

Resources about high impact practices

Definition

Culminating experiences that require students nearing the end of their college years to create a project of some sort that integrates and applies what they’ve learned. The project might be a research paper, a performance, a portfolio of “best work,” or an exhibit of artwork. Capstones are offered both in departmental programs and, increasingly, in general education as well. (AACU)
