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.
