Capstone: Field-Based Research Project

Catalog description

In this capstone course, candidates will apply program theories, content, and skills to address a real-world, field-based issue in an adult education, digital learning, or other pertinent context relative to the academic program of study. This course requires candidates to conceptualize and present an original scholarly research study to include research questions based upon an issue in a face-to-face/online/or hybrid educational setting, a literature review, research methods, data and analysis, discussion, and references. The capstone project requires written, oral, and audiovisual/multimedia components proposed by the candidate and approved by the course instructor. Capstone course work must follow the style requirements established by the Teaching department. All grades for any capstone attempts will appear on the transcript and will be calculated in the GPA. Candidates may choose an 8-week or 16-week course format. This is intended to be the final course in the degree program and all other course work should be completed.
