MLS 6050Capstone 1: Research and Analysis3
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. 3 Hours Lecture 3 Credits
This course will review the process of academic writing and building scholarly arguments as it prepares students for the writing process of the capstone thesis, which is to be approximately 30 pages in length. The thesis should conform to the academic standards of the primary discipline (including bibliographic citation method, research methods, etc.) In addition, because the program encourages interdisciplinary methods, students are encouraged to draw on other disciplines where appropriate concerning the topic and research. The student’s advisor and the instructor may have further suggestions based on the student’s Capstone Proposal. Prereq/Corequisite MLS-6050 3 Hours Lecture 3 Credits
