For the thesis option, the student presents a complex issue with background information and must defend the urgency in addressing the issue. The student will then present the analysis, explanation(s), or assertion(s) that they are making about the topic. The student will be expected to make an oral presentation in addition to submitting their thesis in writing. For the capstone option, the student will select a topic related to a complex health issue based on an experience (usually through the GHEX 100 MS Applied Learning Experience). Similarly, the student will provide an analysis on the topic, including background information, landscape analysis, as well as any carried-out interventions or proposed interventions that may provide a solution to the issue presented. The student will also be required to submit the project in a written format and provide 149
