Best Practices Analysis –
Senior Project Titles (2013-Current)


As Cal Poly was embarking on an internal examination of the best practices related to senior project, faculty in the then Recreation, Parks, & Tourism Administration department were already hard at work trying to reimagine their senior project. Due to a myriad of factors, faculty were seeing unnecessary barriers being placed on students with their current practice of a 2-quarter senior project that involved evaluation and assessment and wanted to limit those barriers while at the same time both enhancing the experience and the associated benefits for the student. 

The faculty vision became reality in the form of a 1-quarter senior project with an organizational analysis lens. Every student chooses either a case study or a comparative analysis and then analyzes the specific management-related efforts of one or more organizations. 

Their sales pitch to students was and remains: Imagine sitting down with an employer after having conducted a review of literature on, for example, the sustainability of island destinations and having then analyzed the sustainability efforts of two destination management organizations in Puerto Rico and Hawaii. 

Would you feel prepared and confident in being armed with that knowledge? Yes, you would, and yes, our students do!
