The Guided Reflective Inquiry Project (GRIP) is a project-based and learner-centered capstone project that allows students to extend their acquired knowledge of business administration theory and practice by investigating a relevant issue or question that develops from course studies, reading, or field experiences. The GRIP also provides an opportunity for students to further examine the foundation and structure of their own business knowledge and beliefs (including their developing personal professional practice), within the larger context of business administration theory, research, and wise practice. Additionally, the GRIP sets the stage for independent and ongoing professional development in a career that demands commitment to research inquiry and to life-long learning.

Bachelor of Business Administration degree students are required to take at least two capstone courses and may only take BCAP 401 once during their degree. Students will work in collaboration with the course instructor(s) to create capstone experiences that align with their respective areas of interest and ensures that they gain practical experience(s) in business administration. Both capstone experiences require active engagement and allow students to progress their leadership skillset in unique ways.
