Objectives
To prepare the applicant to formally begin the thesis stage of their program, as the final step towards completion of the requirements for the Master degree.
The final project is the cornerstone of graduate degree work. It may take any of several forms, quantitative, qualitative, or participatory action research, or a major project demonstrating excellence, depending upon the expectations of the program faculty. In whatever form it takes, it must represent original work by the participant. At the Master degree level, it is the demonstration of mastery of an advanced body of knowledge in a given field. The final project will take the form of a standard “traditional” academic thesis of 50 or more typewritten pages. The document will conform to the guidelines of the University, the expectations of faculty, and an acceptable style manual. This research preparation course is intended to empower the participants:
