How different are capstones from school to school?

[suzycupcake]

I just read a thread where someone said the BALS capstone at TESU requires a 25 page paper. Never having had a degree before, I just assumed that all schools basically required the same thing for each capstone. I don't know why I assumed that but now that I saw that thread I'm curious as to how different they would be from school to school. In fact, I don't even know what a capstone class is, aside from a class that allows you to prove what you know. 

I'm currently in the process of weighing the pros and cons of TESU BALS vs EC BSLA and was leaning towards TESU (even though EC would give me more credits), mostly because TESU only requires 15 UL classes.  I just need the box checked. Cost isn't a consideration. Just need this done the easiest way I can.

Now this capstone throws a new question out - how different are they from school to school as far as requirements go?  

I'd really appreciate any input please. Thank you in advance!
