A thesis is recommended for students interested in pursuing graduate studies.

An internship is recommended for students interested in entering a professional field. Students should take the first capstone course in their penultimate semester or in the second semester of their junior year.
It is strongly recommended that CLCS combined majors take at least one Academic Travel course with a CLCS.
