MLS 6050 - Capstone 1: Research and Analysis

This course will guide students through the
process of preparing the capstone
thesis. It will explore a student-chosen topic
which has developed out of their graduate work; it
should also be a topic that joins their
certificate work in a meaningful way and in
greater depth.

Students will develop a reading list in which to
engage in significant and tangible work of
graduate level research and analysis. Capstone 1
will include discussion forums where students
can discuss any issues that arise in research and
analysis with other students and with the
instructor. At the end of the Capstone 1, students
will prepare a “capstone proposal” that will
include a tentative thesis statement, a detailed
outline of the argument, and an annotated
bibliography. This capstone proposal must be
reviewed and approved by the instructor and the
program director before students can register for
Capstone 2.
