Capstone/senior thesis

Colleges with strong Capstones or Senior Thesis will be particularly appealing to ENFJ

All colleges require students to complete certain academic tasks to graduate; not many demand students complete a senior thesis or a capstone project. Yet it is exactly the sort of thing that the AACU consider a a high impact practice for colleges:
Whether they’re called “senior capstones” or some other name, these culminating experiences 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.
While not that many colleges actually require it, many may in specific programs or in the honors colleges.

What does the research say?
“Do it!” Researchers in the Higher Education Research Institute at UCLA found students who participated in service learning demonstrated greater engagement in the classroom, an increased sense of personal identity, and a heightened awareness of the world around them. The data identified a positive impact on interpersonal skills (working with others, leadership, and communication), spiritual growth, and moral development.
Analysts at Vanderbilt University reviewed service learning research, finding both students and faculty members reported positive learning effects, such as strengthened critical thinking and problem analysis abilities. This is because service learning participation increases how often students discuss their experiences, intensifies how they learn from one another, and amplifies the emotional and analytical support from faculty members.
