DMSC 8310 - Capstone II

2 credit hours

The second course in the three-course capstone series focuses on the planning and preparation for conducting the capstone project. Students will plan for the collection and analysis of data, literature or other relevant information required to support a rigorous and scholarly effort. Students will prepare and submit an IRB (or comparable regulatory agency) application. Finally, students will plan for the operational challenges of locating, collecting, managing and processing requisite information to address their capstone project question. Scholarly projects should satisfy the expectation of rigorous, professional, doctoral level work equivalent to original research.
