Master's degree question

[studyhard]

From amu.apus.edu:

"Master’s Capstone Seminar in History - After completing all core requirements, concentration, and electives, the student is eligible to enroll in HS798 / HIS 798, Capstone Seminar in History. This capstone seminar option includes a thesis, or a major research project or paper in lieu of the final comprehensive examination, which has no credit hours. Those who elect this option may reduce their electives by three semester hours to accommodate the seminar option credit. This option is desirable for those students who wish to focus on specific subject matter of an interdisciplinary nature or who would like to continue their education at a higher level."

How'd I miss that? :confused:

Okay, so let me make sure I have this right: The capstone option is the thesis option, right? And if I do a thesis, I don't have to take a final huge exam and I can count 3 credits towards it, rather than choosing an elective. Right?
