Description

Section information text: Integrates the course work of the MSC program into a comprehensive application. While in teams under the supervision of a faculty instructor, students address an actual challenge faced by an organization or a department within an organization. Students study the issues, review industry trends, research the depth of the issue, and make a series of recommendations to key members of an organization. The practicum culminates in a formal written and oral presentation of the team's work, which is evaluated by faculty and organization professionals. Students should take the Capstone course near the end of their graduate program (at least after two full semesters in the program). To register, students must seek permission from their academic advisor. Students schedules will be accommodated.
